Custom MMIC's new DC to 20 GHz SP4T offers low insertion loss of 2.4 dB

June 5, 2014

Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), announces the introduction of the CMD203C4, a DC to 20 GHz single-pole, four-throw (SP4T), MMIC, switch housed in a leadless 4 x 4 mm ceramic package. The CMD203C4 is the latest control device added by Custom MMIC to its growing library of standard products.

The CMD203C4 features a low insertion loss of 2.4 dB and high isolation of 40 dB at 10 GHz. The switch also includes an integrated binary decoder circuit that only requires two logic inputs to control the four output state. Switch control is accomplished with voltage logic levels of 0 / -5 V, with the logic circuitry consuming less than 1 mA of DC current. The SP4T switch is housed in a Pb-free RoHs-compliant 4 x 4 mm surface mount package.

Ideal applications for this new switch includes microwave radio and VSAT, telecom infrastructure, test instrumentation, and military end-use. For more information and to download the datasheet, visit the Custom MMIC Product Library.
