HMC221E Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The HMC221E from Hittite Microwave Corporation is a low-cost, GaAs MMIC SPDT switch suitable for general switching applications requiring very low insertion loss and a small footprint. This device operates across a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz, making it ideal for ISM applications, PCMCIA wireless cards, and cellular applications, particularly at 900 MHz, 1.8-2.2 GHz, and 2.4 GHz.

 

Key electrical specifications include a typical insertion loss of 0.7 dB at 1 GHz and 28 dB isolation at 1 GHz. The switch supports input power for 1 dB compression up to 30 dBm at 1 GHz and offers an input third-order intercept point of +45 dBm at 1 GHz. Switching times are rapid, with tRISE/tFALL at 3 ns and tON/tOFF at 10 ns.

 

The HMC221E is housed in a compact 6-lead SOT26 surface-mount package. It features positive control voltages compatible with CMOS & TTL logic families. The HMC221E is also noted as a RoHS-compliant product.
