RoHS Compliant Product
Low Insertion Loss (2 GHz): 0.7 dB
Single Positive Supply: Vdd = +5V
Integrated 2:4 TTL Decoder
16 Lead QSOP Package
Electrical Specications, T
A
= +25° C, For TTL Control and Vdd = +5V in a 50 Ohm System
Typical Applications
The HMC241AQS16 & HMC241AQS16E are ideal for:
• Base Stations & Portable Wireless
• CATV / DBS
• Wireless Local Loop
• Test Equipment
The HMC241AQS16 & HMC241AQS16E are general
purpose low-cost non-reective SP4T switches in
16-lead QSOP packages. Covering DC - 3.5 GHz,
this switch offers high isolation and has a low insertion
loss of 0.7 dB at 2 GHz. The switch offers a single
positive bias and true TTL/CMOS compatibility. A 2:4
decoder is integrated on the switch requiring only 2
control lines and a positive bias to select each path,
replacing 8 control lines normally required by GaAs
SP4T switches.
