The HMC270MS8G is a broadband non-reflective GaAs SPDT switch in an 8 lead MSOP grounded base surface mount plastic package. Covering DC to 8 GHz the switch offers excellent isolation, from 70 to 35 dB. The negative control voltage of -5 volts allows operation down to DC, satisfying CATV, cable modem, and all IF applications. Instrumentation applications can benefit from the wide bandwidth. The HMC270MS8G is also ideal for cellular, PCS, ISM (2.4 & 5.8 GHz), MMDS, and WLL. If positive control is required along with high isolation see the DC to 3.5 GHz HMC284MS8G nonreflective SPDT.
