Functional Diagram
General Description
the hMc221A(e) is a low-cost SPDt switch in
a 6-lead SOt26 plastic package for use in gen-
eral switching applications which require very low
insertion loss and very small size. this device
can control signals from Dc to 3 Ghz and is
especially suited for 900 Mhz, 1.8 - 2.2 Ghz, and
2.4 Ghz iSM applications with less than 1 dB loss.
the design provides exceptional insertion loss perfor-
mance, ideal for filter and receiver switching. RF1 and
RF2 are reflective shorts when “Off”. the two control
voltages require a minimal amount of Dc current and
offer compatibility with most cMOS & ttL logic fami-
lies. See hMc197A(e) for same performance in an
alternate SOt26 pin-out.

Typical Application Circuit
Notes:
1. Set logic gate and switch Vdd = +3V to +5V and use hct series
logic to provide a ttL driver interface.
2. control inputs A/B can be driven directly with cMOS logic (hc)
with Vdd of 5 to 8 Volts applied to the cMOS logic gates.
3. Dc Blocking capacitors are required for each RF port as shown.
capacitor value determines lowest frequency of operation.
4. highest RF signal power capability is achieved with Vdd = +8V
and A/B set to 0/+8V.

the circuit board used in the 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.
