1. HMC8038LP4CETR Product Description
The HMC8038LP4CETR is a high-isolation, non-reflective, single-pole double-throw (SPDT) RF switch developed by ADI, operating in the frequency range of 0.1 GHz to 6.0 GHz. It is packaged in a 16-LFCSP (4×4 mm) and is suitable for applications such as cellular infrastructure, wireless communications, and test equipment.

The HMC8038LP4CETR is manufactured using a silicon-based process, offering low insertion loss, high power handling capability, and fast switching speed, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency signal routing applications.

The HMC8038LP4CETR's non-reflective design ensures that no signals are reflected when the switch is in the off state, thereby reducing system interference.

2. HMC8038LP4CETR Key Features
The main features of the HMC8038LP4CETR include:
High isolation: 60 dB (typical), ensuring low crosstalk between signal paths.
Low insertion loss: only 0.8 dB (typical), reducing signal attenuation.
High power handling capability:
Through path: 34 dBm
Terminated path: 29 dBm
High linearity:
Input third-order intercept point (IIP3): 60 dBm
0.1 dB compression point (P0.1dB): 35 dBm
Wide power supply voltage range: 3.3V to 5V, compatible with 1.8V control logic.
Fast switching time: 150 ns (switching time) / 170 ns (RF settling time).
ESD protection:
4 kV HBM (human body model)
1.25 kV CDM (charging device model)
Operating temperature range: -40°C to +105°C, suitable for industrial applications.

HMC8038LP4CETR also supports full shutdown mode (EN = high level), further reducing power consumption.
