GaAs MMIC SPDT
SWITCH, DC - 3 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Low Insertion Loss: 0.25 dB
High Input IP3: +65 dBm
Low DC Power Consumption
Positive Control: 0/+3V to 0/+8V
Ultra Small Package: SOT26
Electrical Speci cations
TA = +25° C, Vctl = 0/+5 Vdc (Unless Otherwise Stated), 50 Ohm System
Typical Applications
The HMC545 / HMC545E is ideal for:
• Cellular/3G Infrastructure
• Private Mobile Radio Handsets
• WLAN, WiMAX & WiBro
• Automotive Telematics
• Test Equipment
The HMC545 and HMC545E are low-cost SPDT
switches in 6-lead SOT26 plastic packages for use
in general switching applications which require
very low insertion loss and very small size. With
0.25 dB typical loss, these devices can control sig-
nals from DC to 3.0 GHz and are especially suited
for IF and RF applications including Cellular/3G,
ISM, automotive and portables. The design provides
exceptional insertion loss performance, ideal for lter
and receiver switching. RF1 and RF2 are re ective
shorts when “Off”. The two control voltages require a
minimal amount of DC current and offer compatibility
with CMOS and some TTL logic families.

Typical Application Circuit
Notes:
1. Set logic gate 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 +3V to +8V 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 Vdd = +8V and A/B set to 0/+8V.
Pin Descriptions
Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1, 3, 5 RF2, RF1, RFC These pins are DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.

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 should be connected directly to the ground
plane similar to that shown above. The evalua-
tion circuit board shown above is available from
Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
