Typical Applications
The HMC190AMS8(E) is ideal for:
• MMDS & WirelessLAN
• Portable Wireless
The HMC190AMS8(E) is a low cost SPDT switch
in a 8-lead MSOP package. The switch can control
signals from DC to 3 GHz. It is especially suited for
low and medium power applications using positive
control voltages. The two control voltages require
a minimal amount of DC current, which is optimal
for battery powered radio systems at 0.9, 1.9, and
2.4 GHz. The HMC190AMS8(E) provides excep-
tional third order intermodulation performance of
+50 dBm. The design has been optimized for the
small MSOP package, and maintains a VSWR of better
than 1.2:1 up to 2 GHz. This device is the positive
control MSOP8 packaged version of our HMC239S8
negative control device.
