MA4SW110
Description
The MA4SW110, MA4SW210 and MA4SW310 are
series-shunt, broadband, PIN diode switches made with
M/A-COM Tech’s HMIC
TM
(Heterolithic Microwave
Integrated Circuit) process. This process allows the
silicon pedestals which form the series - shunt diodes
and vias to be embedded into low loss, low dispersion
glass. By also incorporating small spacing between
circuit elements, the result is an HMIC chip with low
insertion loss and high isolation at frequencies up to
26.5GHz. They are designed for use as moderate
power, high performance switches and provide superior
performance when compared to similar designs that use
discrete components.
The top side of the chip is protected by a polymer
coating for manual or automatic handling and large gold
bond pads help facilitate connection of low inductance
ribbons. The gold metallization on the backside of the
chip allows for attachment via 80/20, gold/tin solder or
conductive silver epoxy.

Operation of the MA4SW Series Switches
The simultaneous application of a negative DC current to the
low loss port and positive DC current to the isolated port is
required for proper operation of the MA4SW series of PIN
switches. The backside area of the die is the RF and DC
ground return and the DC return is through the common Port
J1. A constant current source should be used to supply the
DC control currents. The control voltages at these points will
not exceed ±1.5 volts for supply currents up to + 20mA. In
the low loss state, the series diode must be forward biased
and the shunt diode reverse biased. On all isolated ports, the
shunt diode is forward biased and the series diode is reverse
biased.
