Overview
The HMC252AQS24E is a low-cost, non-reflective Single-Pole Six-Throw (SP6T) switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This GaAs MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) switch operates over a wide frequency range from DC to 3.0 GHz, making it suitable for various RF and microwave applications. The device is packaged in a 24-lead QSOP package and features a single positive supply voltage range of +3V to +5V, along with integrated 3:6 TTL decoder logic, which simplifies control with only three control lines.
