General Description
The HMC347C8 is a broadband high isolation non-
reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a non-her-
metic surface mount ceramic package. Covering DC
to 8.0 GHz, the switch features >50 dB isolation up
to 2 GHz and >35 dB isolation up to 8.0 GHz. The
switch operates using complementary negative con-
trol voltage logic lines of -5/0V and requires no bias
supply. This SPDT is an excellent replacement for the
HMC132C8 SPDT.

The circuit board used in the final application should
be generated with proper RF circuit design tech-
niques. Signal lines at the RF port should have 50
ohm impedance and the package ground leads and
package bottom should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown above. The eval-
uation circuit board shown above is available from
Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
