The HMC245QS16 is a low cost non-reflective SP3T switch in a 16-lead QSOP surface mount package. Covering DC to 3.5 GHz, the switch offers 30 to 40 dB isolation and a low insertion loss of 0.5 dB. A 2:3 TTL/ CMOS compatible decoder is integrated on the switch requiring only 2 control lines and a single +5V bias to select each path, replacing 6 control lines normally required by GaAs SP3T switches.
