Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC223MS8 is a low-cost SPDT switch in an
8-lead MSOP package for use in transmit-receive
applications. The device can control signals from 4.5
to 6 GHz and is especially suited for 5.2 GHz UNII
and 5.8 GHz ISM applications with only 1.2 dB loss.
The design provides exceptional power handling
performance; input P1dB = +33dBm at 5 Volt bias.
RF1 and RF2 are reflective shorts when “Off”. On-
chip circuitry allows single positive supply operation
at very low DC current with control inputs compat-
ible with CMOS and most TTL logic families. No DC
blocking capacitors are required on RF I/O ports.

Notes:
1. Control Inputs A and B can be driven directly with CMOS logic (HC) with V of 3 to 8 Volts applied to the CMOS logic
gates and to pin 4 of the RF switch.
2. Set V to 5 Volts and use HCT series logic to provide a TTL driver interface.
3. Highest RF signal power capability is achieved with V set to +10V. However, the switch will operate properly (but at lower
RF power capability) at bias voltages down to +3V.
4. RF ByPass: Do not use RF bypass capacitors on Vdd, A or B ports. Resistors R1, R2, R3 = 100 Ohms should be
placed close to the Vdd, A and B ports. Use resistor size 0402 to minimize parasitic inductances and capacitances.
5. DC Blocking capacitors are not required for each RF port.
6. Evaluation PCB available.
See Section 8 for Layout Guidelines Application Note.
