Nonreflective Switch Chip, DC to 20 GHz

Viewing:

Overview

  • Broadband performance: DC to 20 GHz
  • High isolation: 42 dB @ 12 GHz; 42 dB @ 10 GHz
  • Low insertion loss: 2.1 dB @ 12 GHz; 2.3 dB @ 10 GHz
  • Integrated 2:4 TTL decoder
  • Small size: 1.92 mm x 1.60 mm x 0.10 mm
  • 24-lead 4 mm x 4 mm SMT package: 16 mm²

The HMC641 is a broadband nonreflective GaAs pHEMT SP4T switch chip in a compact 4 mm x 4 mm ceramic or plastic package. Covering DC to 20 GHz, this switch offers high isolation, low insertion loss, on-chip termination of isolated ports, and extends the frequency coverage of the SP4T switch product line. This switch also includes an on-board binary decoder circuit that reduces the number of required logic control lines to two. The switch operates using a negative control voltage of 0/−5 V, requires a fixed Vss bias of −5 V, and exhibits fast switching speed and consumes much less dc current than pin diode-based solutions. All data are tested with the chip in a 50 Ω test fixture connected via one 3.0 mil x 0.5 mil gold ribbon of minimal length on each RF port. The HMC641 is available in die form.
