RF Switches datasheet and documents for HMC232C8
RF Switches Overview
The HMC232C8 is a broadband, high-isolation, non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch designed for surface mount applications. It operates from DC to 8 GHz with a typical insertion loss of 1.6 dB and off-isolation of 43 dB. The device utilizes a non-hermetic ceramic C8 package and functions on complementary negative control voltage logic (-5/0V) without requiring an external bias supply. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
RF Switches Feature Summary
- Non-reflective GaAs MESFET design ensures signal integrity across the frequency band
- High isolation performance minimizes signal leakage in the off state
- Zero-bias operation simplifies circuit design by eliminating the need for separate power supplies
RF Switches Applications
- Telecom Infrastructure
- Microwave Radio & VSAT Systems
- Military Radios, Radar & ECM
- Test Instrumentation
RF Switches Procurement Notes
Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part is obsolete. Confirm package integrity upon receipt, noting the non-hermetic ceramic construction. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity if applicable. Cross-reference datasheet specifications against current design requirements before integration.
RF Switches Selection Notes
Select this component for designs requiring high isolation and non-reflective switching up to 8 GHz. Consider the C8 ceramic package for thermal stability. Evaluate the -5/0V control logic compatibility with existing driver circuits. Note that the device is obsolete; assess long-term availability risks for production volumes.
