Overview
The HMC595A and HMC595AE are low-cost Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switches designed by Analog Devices Inc. These switches are fabricated in GaAs MMIC technology and are packaged in a 6-lead SOT26 package. They are optimized for use in transmit/receive applications that require very low distortion at high incident power levels. The devices can control signals from DC to 3 GHz, making them suitable for various wireless communication systems.
