General Description
The HMC536MS8G & HMC536MS8GE are DC to
6 GHz GaAs MMIC T/R switches in 8 lead MSOP8G
surface mount packages with an exposed ground
paddle. The switch is ideal for cellular/PCS/3G
basestation applications featuring low 0.5 dB inser-
tion loss and +55 dBm input IP3. Power handling is
excellent up through 6 GHz with the switch offering
a P0.1dB compression point of +29 dBm at +3 volts
control. On-chip circuitry allows positive voltage con-
trol of 0/+3 volts or 0/+5 volts at very low DC currents.

107821 Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the final application should
be generated with proper RF circuit design tech-
niques. Signal lines at the RF port should have 50
ohm impedance and the package ground leads and
exposed paddle should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown above. The eval-
uation circuit board shown above is available from
Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
