HMC344LC3 v03.0514 GaAs MMIC SP4T NON-REFLECTIVE SWITCH, DC - 8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC344LC3 is ideal for: Broadband Performance: DC - 8 GHz T • Broadband, Military, Radar & ECM Integrated 2:4 TTL Decoder M • Fiber Optics High Isolation: 40 dB@ 6 GHz S • Switched Filter Banks Low Insertion Loss: 2 dB@ 6 GHz - W • Wireless below 8 GHz Non-Reflective Topology O • Test Instrumentation R H Functional Diagram General Description T - The HMC344LC3 is a broadband non-reflective GaAs I T MESFET SP4T switch in a ceramic 3x3 mm leadless L surface mount package. Covering DC to 8 GHz, this U switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss. The M HMC344LC3 includes an integrated binary decoder - circuit which reduces the required logic control S lines to two. The switch operates using a negative E control voltage of 0/-5V, and requires a fixed bias of H -5V. Simple external level shifting circuitry allows this C switch to be controlled with most TTL/CMOS positive T logic families.
