HMC336MS8G / 336MS8GE
GaAs MMIC SPDT NON-REFLECTIVE
POSITIVE CONTROL SWITCH, DC* - 6 GHz
v03.0607
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC336MS8G & HMC336MS8GE are broad-
band non-re ective GaAs MESFET SPDT switches
in low cost 8 lead MSOP8G surface mount packages
with an exposed ground paddle. Covering DC to 6
GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low inser-
tion loss. The switch operates using a positive con-
trol voltage of 0/+5 Volts, and requires a xed bias of
+5V. This switch is suitable for usage in 50-Ohm or
75-Ohm systems.
Broadband Performance: DC - 6 GHz
High Isolation: 42 dB@ 6 GHz
Low Insertion Loss: 1.6 dB@ 6 GHz
MSOP8G SMT Package
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, With 0/+5V Control, 50 Ohm System
Typical Applications
This switch is suitable for usage in DC - 6.0 GHz 50-

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the nal 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 backside ground slug should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown
above. The evaluation circuit board shown above is
available from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon
request.
