HMC174MS8 / 174MS8E v04.0109 GaAs MMIC T/R SWITCH DC - 3 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC174MS8(E) is ideal for: Low Insertion Loss: 0.5 dB * Infrastructure & Repeaters High Input IP3: +60 dBm * Cellular/3G & WiMAX Positive Control: 0/+3V to 0 /+8V * Portable Wireless High RF power Capability * LNA Protection MSOP - 8 SMT package, 14.8 mm2 * Automotive Telematics * Test Equipment General Description Functional Diagram The HMC174MS8 & HMC174MS8E are low-cost SPDT switches in 8-lead MSOP packages for use in transmit-receive applications which require very low distortion at high signal power levels. The device can control signals from DC to 3 GHz and is especially suited for cellular/3G and WiMAX applications with only 0.5 dB loss. The design provides exceptional intermodulation performance; providing a +60 dBm third order intercept at 8 Volt bias. RF1 and RF2 are reflective shorts when "OFF". On chip circuitry allows single positive supply operation at very low DC current with control inputs compatible with CMOS and most TTL logic families.

Blocking capacitors are required. 4 Vdd Supply Voltage. 6, 7 GND This pin must be connected to RF/DC ground. Interface Schematic Typical Application Circuit SWITCHES - SPDT T/R - SMT 11 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 and to pin 4 of the RF switch. 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 +8V. The switch will operate properly (but at lower RF power capability) at bias voltages down to +3V. 11 - 6 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC174MS8 / 174MS8E v04.0109 GaAs MMIC T/R SWITCH DC - 3 GHz Evaluation Circuit Board List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 104124 [1] Item Description J1 - J3 PCB Mount SMA RF Connector J4 - J7 DC Pin C1 - C3 100 pF capacitor, 0402 Pkg.
