General Description

The HMC232LP4(E) is a broadband high isolation non-refl ective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a low cost leadless QFN surface mount plastic package. Covering DC to 12 GHz, the switch features >60 dB isolation up to 3 GHz and >42 dB isolation up to 12 GHz. Input P1dB compression is +27 dBm typical, while input IP3 is +50 dBm. The switch operates using complementary negative control voltage logic lines of -5/0V and requires no bias supply.
