associated parasitics usually associated with hybrid
MIC designs incorporating beam lead and PIN
diodes that require chip and wire assembly.
The MASW-003103-1364 is fabricated using M/A-
COM Tech’s 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.

Bias Control
Optimal operation of the MASW-003103-1364 is achieved by simultaneous application of negative DC voltage
and current to the low loss switching arm J2, J3, or J4, 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 J1/RF Com 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 isolation arms, the shunt diode is forward biased with current and the series diode is reverse
biased with voltage.

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

= 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.
