The HMC435MS8G is a non-reflective DC to 4 GHz GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a low cost 8 lead MSOP8G surface mount package with an exposed ground paddle. The switch is ideal for cellular/PCS/3G basestation applications yielding 50 to 60 dB isolation, low 0.8 dB insertion loss and +50 dBm input IP3. Power handling is excellent up through the 3.5 GHz WLL band with the switch offering a P1dB compression point of +31 dBm. On-chip circuitry allows positive voltage control of 0/+5 Volts at very low DC currents.
