General Description

The HMC174MS8 & HMC174MS8E are low-cost SPDT switches in 8-lead MSOP packages for use in transmit-receive applications which require very low distortion at high signal power levels. The device can control signals from DC to 3.0 GHz and is especially suited for 900 MHz, 1.8 - 2.2 GHz, and 2.4 GHz ISM applications with only 0.5 dB loss. The design provides exceptional intermodulation performance; providing a +60 dBm third order intercept at 8 Volt bias. RF1 and RF2 are refl ective shorts when “OFF”. Onchip circuitry allows single positive supply operation at very low DC current with control inputs compatible with CMOS and most TTL logic families.
