HMC344LC3TR-R5

RF Switches Overview

The HMC344LC3TR-R5 is a single-pole four-throw (SP4T) non-reflective RF switch integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates from DC to 8 GHz and utilizes GaAs technology. The device features an insertion loss of 1.8 dB and typical off-isolation of 40 dB. It supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a QFN-16 surface-mount package.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Provides SP4T switching capability with non-reflective design for signal integrity
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from DC to 8 GHz
• Utilizes GaAs technology for high-performance RF applications

RF Switches Applications

• Wireless infrastructure systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Military and aerospace radar systems

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LC3TR-R5 against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the QFN-16 SMT package and reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with RoHS standards as indicated in current datasheets. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and supply chain status, as availability may vary.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-loss, wideband SP4T switch is required for frequencies up to 8 GHz. The QFN-16 package suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 1.8 dB insertion loss and 40 dB isolation meet system requirements. Confirm thermal management capabilities for the specified -55°C to +85°C operating range.

RF Switches Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC344 series of RF switches. It shares core electrical specifications with the bare die HMC344 and the standard SMD HMC344LP3, differing primarily in the packaged form factor. The LC3TR-R5 designation indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

RF Switches Replacement Considerations

HMC344LP3 offers identical electrical performance in a QFN-16 package. HMC344 provides the same functionality in a bare die format.
