HMC8038LP4CETR

The HMC8038 is a high isolation, nonreflective, 0.1 GHz to 6.0 GHz, silicon, single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch in a leadless, surface-mount package. The switch is ideal for cellular infrastructure applications, yielding up to 62 dB of isolation up to 4.0 GHz, a low 0.8 dB of insertion loss up to 4.0 GHz, and 60 dBm of input third-order intercept. Power handling is excellent up to 6.0 GHz, and it offers an input power for an 0.1 dB compression point (P0.1dB) of 35 dBm (V_DD = 5 V). On-chip circuitry operates a single, positive supply voltage from 3.3 V to 5 V, as well as a single, positive voltage control from 0 V to 1.8 V/3.3 V/5.0 V at very low dc currents. An enable input (EN) set to logic high places the switch in an all off state, in which RFC is reflective.
