General Description
The HMC344ALP3E is a broadband non-reflective GaAs MESFET SP4T
switch in a low cost leadless surface mount packages. Covering DC
to 8 GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss
and extends the frequency coverage of Hittite’s SP4T switch product
line. This switch also includes an on board binary decoder circuit
which reduces the required logic control lines to two. The switch
operates using a negative control voltage of 0/-5V, and requires a
fixed bias of -5V.
