General Description
The
HMC427ALP3E
is a low loss broadband positive
control transfer switch in leadless surface mount
package. Covering DC to 8 GHz, this switch offers high
isolation and low insertion loss. The switch operates
using a positive control voltage of 0/+5V and requires
a fixed bias of +5V at < 20 µA.
* Blocking capacitors are required at ports RF1, 2, 3, & 4.
Their value will determine the lowest transmission frequency.
