Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC232G8 is a broadband high isolation
non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a
hermetic surface mount package. Covering DC
to 6.0 GHz, the switch features >48 dB isolation
up to 2 GHz and >34 dB isolation up to 6.0 GHz.
The switch operates using complementary
negative control voltage logic lines of -5/0V and
requires no bias supply.
