HMC245QS16TR

RF Switches Overview

The HMC245QS16TR is a low-cost, non-reflective SP3T RF switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates from DC to 3.5 GHz with a 50-ohm impedance. Key electrical parameters include an insertion loss of 0.8 dB, isolation of 36 dB, P1dB of 29 dBm, and IIP3 of 48 dBm. It requires a 5V supply and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The component is housed in a 16-lead QSOP surface-mount package.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Non-reflective absorption topology for minimal signal reflection
• Single-pole triple-throw (SP3T) switching capability
• Broadband operation covering DC to 3.5 GHz
• Low power consumption with single 5V supply requirement

RF Switches Applications

• CATV distribution systems
• Wireless local loop infrastructure
• Test and measurement equipment
• Telecommunications base stations

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QS16' to confirm the 16-lead QSOP package variant. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards if required by your assembly process. Confirm that the 5V supply voltage aligns with your system design constraints before procurement.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband SP3T switch is needed for CATV or wireless applications up to 3.5 GHz. Consider the 16-QSOP package for surface-mount assembly requirements. Evaluate the 0.8 dB insertion loss and 36 dB isolation against system link budget needs.

RF Switches Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC245 series of MMIC GaAs switches designed for general-purpose RF switching. It offers a cost-effective solution for multi-port switching in compact form factors. The series is optimized for applications requiring reliable performance across wide frequency bands.

RF Switches Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the HMC245AQS16ETR which shares similar specifications but may have different packaging or suffix variations. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
