SWITCHES - SPDT T/R - SMT
1
HMC595A / 595AE
v01.0515
GaAs MMIC 3 WATT T/R SWITCH
DC - 3 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Low Insertion Loss: 0.3 dB
High Input IP3: +63 dBm
Isolation: 30 dB
Positive Control: 0/+3V to 0/+10V
Ultra Small Package: SOT26
Electrical Specications,
TA = +25° C, Vctl = 0/+5 Vdc (Unless Otherwise Stated), 50 Ohm System
Typical Applications
The HMC595A / 595AE is ideal for:
• Cellular/3G Infrastructure
• Private Mobile Radio Handsets
• WLAN, WiMAX & WiBro
• Automotive Telematics
• Test Equipment
The HMC595A & HMC595AE are low-cost SPDT swit-
ches in 6-lead SOT26 packages for use in transmit/
receive applications which require very low distortion
at high incident power levels. The device can control
signals from DC to 3 GHz and is especially suited
for Cellular/3G infrastructure, WiMAX and WiBro
applications with only 0.3 dB typical insertion loss.
The design provides a 3 watt power handling and
+63 dBm third order intercept at +8 Volt bias. RF1
and RF2 are reective shorts when “Off”. Control
inputs A & B are compatible with CMOS and some
TTL logic families. These products are form, t and
function replacements for HMC595 & HMC595E while
offering superior electrical performance.

GaAs MMIC 3 WATT T/R SWITCH
DC - 3 GHz
Typical Application Circuit
Notes:
1. Set logic gate and switch Vdd = +3V to +5V and use HCT
series logic to provide a TTL driver interface.
2. Control inputs A/B can be driven directly with CMOS logic (HC)
with Vdd of +3 to +8 Volts applied to the CMOS logic gates.
3. DC Blocking capacitors are required for each RF port as shown.
Capacitor value determines lowest frequency of operation.
4. Highest RF signal power capability is achieved with V set to
+10V. The switch will operate properly (but at lower RF power
capability) at bias voltages down to +3V.
Evaluation Circuit Board
The circuit board used in the application should be
generated with proper RF circuit design techniques.
Signal lines at the RF port should have 50 Ohm
impedance and the package ground leads and
package bottom should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown above. The eval-
uation circuit board shown above is available from
Analog Devices upon request.
