Description
The MASW-004102-12760 device is a SP4T broadband
switch with integrated bias network utilizing M/A-COM
Technology Solutions HMICTM (Heterolithic Microwave
Integrated Circuit) 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 isola-
tion 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.
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.
