Features
Isolation: 55 dB @ 2 GHz 43 dB @ 6 GHz
Insertion Loss: 1.6 dB Typical @ 6 GHz Non-Reflective Design Surface Mount Ceramic Package Direct Replacement for HMC132C8
General Description
The HMC232C8 is a broadband high isolation nonreflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a nonhermetic surface mount ceramic package. Covering DC to 8 GHz, the switch features >55 dB isolation up to 2 GHz and >42 dB isolation up to 8 GHz. The switch operates using complementary negative control voltage logic lines of -5/0V and requires no bias supply.
