HMC244G16TR

RF Switches Overview

The HMC244G16TR is a GaAs MMIC SP4T non-reflective RF switch designed for operation from DC to 4 GHz. It features an insertion loss of 0.7 dB at typical frequencies of 2 GHz and 3 GHz, with isolation ranging between 30 dB and 50 dB. The component utilizes a surface-mount SMT package configuration.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Non-reflective single-pole four-throw (SP4T) topology
• Wideband frequency coverage from DC to 4 GHz
• Low insertion loss performance at standard test frequencies

RF Switches Applications

• Radar systems
• Wireless communication infrastructure
• RF signal routing in test equipment

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability for the Analog Devices Inc. origin. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to match design requirements.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low-loss switching within the 4 GHz bandwidth. Consider the SMT form factor for board space constraints. Evaluate the non-reflective characteristic for system impedance matching needs. Compare against other SP4T options if higher frequency or different power handling is required.

RF Switches Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC244 series of GaAs MMIC switches from Analog Devices. It serves as a surface-mount variant of the hermetic HMC244G16, offering similar electrical performance in a compact footprint suitable for modern PCB assembly processes.

RF Switches Replacement Considerations

The EV1HMC244AG16 is an evaluation board for the HMC244AG16, not a direct functional substitute. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before considering alternative SP4T switches from the same manufacturer.
