HMC241QS16E

RF Switches Overview

The HMC241QS16E is a silicon-based SP4T non-reflective RF switch IC from Analog Devices, operating from DC to 3.5 GHz. It features integrated 2:4 decoding for simplified control via two lines and a single positive bias. Key electrical parameters include a typical insertion loss of 0.8 dB at 2.5 GHz, isolation of 36 dB, P1dB of 29 dBm, and IIP3 of 48 dBm. The device operates on a 5 V supply with -40°C to +85°C temperature range in a 16-QSOP package.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Integrated 2:4 decoder simplifies control interface by requiring only two control lines and one positive bias voltage instead of multiple discrete signals.

RF Switches Applications

• Base station infrastructure
• Portable wireless systems
• CATV and DBS applications
