Description
The MA4SW510B-1 device is a SP5T broadband switch
with integrated bias network utilizing M/A-COM's
HMIC
TM
(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 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.

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.

SWITCHING SPEED
Note:
1.Typical switching speed measured from 10% to 90% of detected RF signal driven by TTL compatible drivers using RC
output spiking network, R = 50 – 200Ω , C = 390 – 560pF.
Operation of the MA4SW510B-1
Operation of the HMIC Series of PIN switches is achieved by the simultaneous application of negative DC
current to the low loss port and positive DC current to the remaining isolated switching ports per the Driver
Connections table below. The control currents should be supplied by constant current sources. For insertion
loss, -10mA bias results in approximately –2V, and for Isolation ,+10mA yields approximately +0.9V at the
respective bias nodes. The backside area of the die is the RF and DC return ground plane.
