Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC347C8 is a broadband high isolation non-
reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a non-her-
metic surface mount ceramic package. Covering DC
to 8.0 GHz, the switch features >50 dB isolation up
to 2 GHz and >35 dB isolation up to 8.0 GHz. The
switch operates using complementary negative con-
trol voltage logic lines of -5/0V and requires no bias
supply. This SPDT is an excellent replacement for the
HMC132C8 SPDT.
