General Description
The HMC348LP3 & HMC348LP3E are non-reflective
GaAs MESFET SPDT switches in low cost leadless
QFN surface mount plastic packages ideal for CATV
applications. Covering DC to 2.5 GHz, the switch offers
high isolation, low insertion loss, integrated 75 Ohm
terminations and an “all off” state. The switch features
>80 dB isolation at 5 MHz and >55 dB isolation up to
1 GHz. The switch operates using complementary
positive control voltage logic lines of +5/0V and
requires a +5V bias supply (Vdd). This switch offers
excellent performance in both 50 Ohm & 75 Ohm
systems for either SPDT or SPST functions.

N/C
These pins should be connected to PCB RF ground
to maximize isolation.
These pins are DC coupled and matched to 75 Ohms.
Blocking capacitors are required.
External capacitors to ground are required.
Select value for optimal isolation below 500 MHz.

Application Circuit
The value of capacitors C1 & C2 are critical for low frequency isolation performance below 500 MHz. 3300 pF 0402 size capacitors
are recommended for optimal isolation down to 5 MHz. If the frequency of operation is above 500 MHz then 100 pF to 300 pF 0402
capacitors will be sufficient.
