Description

The MASW-005102-13600 device is a SP5T broadband

switch with integrated bias network utilizing M/A-COM's

process, US Patent 5,268,310. This process allows the

incorporation of silicon pedestals that form series and

shunt diodes or vias by imbedding them in low loss,

low dispersion glass. By using small spacing between

elements, this combination of silicon and glass gives

HMIC devices low loss and high isolation performance

with exceptional repeatability through low millimeter

frequencies. Large bond pads facilitate the use of low

inductance

ribbon

bonds,

while

gold

backside

metallization allows for manual or automatic chip

bonding via 80/20 - Au/Sn, 62/36/2 - Sn/Pb/Ag solders

or electrically conductive silver epoxy.

Yellow areas denote wire bond pads

Applications

These high performance switches are suitable for use

in multi-band ECM, Radar, and instrumentation control

circuits where high isolation to insertion loss ratios are

required. With a standard +5V/-5V, TTL controlled PIN

diode driver, 80nS switching speeds can be achieved.
