0.1 GHz to 40 GHz, SPST Switch

The HMC-C583 is a 0.1 GHz to 40 GHz, gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transfer (pHEMT), IC single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch housed in a miniature hermetic module. This wideband switch features 7 dB typical insertion loss, 50 dB typical isolation, and 40 dBm input IP3.

The switching on/off time is 10 ns typical. A single control voltage input, toggled between 0 V and 5 V, selects the switch state. Removable K-type connectors can be detached to allow direct connection of the input/output pins of the module to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
