Description
The MASW-004103-1365 is a Surmount™
broadband monolithic SP4T switch using series and
shunt connected silicon PIN diodes. This part is
designed for use as a moderate signal, high
performance switch in applications up to 20 GHz.
This Surface Mount
chipscale configuration is
optimized for broadband performance with minimal
associated parasitics usually associated with hybrid
MIC designs incorporating beam lead and PIN
diodes that require chip and wire assembly.
The MASW-004103-1365 is fabricated using M/A-
COM Technology Solutions patented HMIC™
(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 through low millimeter frequencies.
Selective backside metalization is applied producing
a Surface Mount device. The topside is fully
encapsulated with silicon nitride and has an
additional polymer layer for scratch and impact
protection.
These protective coatings prevent
damage to the junction and the anode airbridge
during handling and assembly.

Silicon PIN Diode SP4T Switch
50 MHz - 20 GHz
Bias Control
Optimal operation of the MASW-004103-1365 is achieved by simultaneous application of negative DC voltage
and current to the low loss switching arm and positive DC voltage and current to the remaining switching arms
as shown in the applications circuit below. DC return is achieved via R2 on the RFC path.
In the low loss state, the series diode must be forward biased with current and the shunt diode reverse biased
with voltage. In the isolated arm, the shunt diode is forward biased with current and the series diode is reverse
biased with voltage.

R2 = 450Ω
B2 = -15V
B3, B4, B5 = 6V

Notes:
8. Assume Vf ~ 1V at 20mA
9. R1 = 5V / 0.02A = 250Ω; R2 = 9V / 0.02A = 450Ω
10. P
R1
= 0.02A x 0.02A x 250 = 0.1 W
11. P
R2
= 0.02A x 0.02A x 450 = 0.18 W
12. Inductors are bias RF chokes. The operating band width of a broad-band PIN diode switch is often dependent on the bias compo-
nents, particularly the RF bias chokes. It is suggested that the frequency response be checked with all the bias components attached
before installing the PIN diode.
