Description
The HMMC-2006 is a GaAs
monolithic microwave integrated
circuit (MMIC) designed for low
insertion loss and high isolation
from DC to 6 GHz. It is intended
for use as a general-purpose,
singlepole, double-throw (SPDT)
switch. One series and two shunt
MESFETs per throw provide
1.2␣ dB maximum insertion loss
and 35 dB minimum isolation at
6␣ GHz. HMMC-2006 chips use
through-substrate vias to provide
ground connections to the chip
backside and minimize the
number of wire bonds required.
The HMMC-2006 is also available
in an 8-lead flatpack (1GG7-4201).
