Typical Applications

The HMC574AMS8E is ideal for:

• Cellular/3G Infrastructure

• Private Mobile Radio Handsets

• WLAN, WiMAX & WiBro

• Automotive Telematics

• Test Equipment

The HMC574AMS8E is low-cost

SPDT switch

in 8-lead MSOP packages for use in transmit/

receive applications which requires very low

distortion at high incident power levels. The

device can control signals from DC to 3 GHz and

is especially suited for Cellular/3G infrastructure,

WiMAX and WiBro applications with only 0.3 dB

typical insertion loss. The design provides 5 watt

power handling performance and +63 dBm third

order intercept at +8 Volt bias. RF1 and RF2 are

reflective shorts when “Off”.
