MA4SW210B-1
Description
The MA4SW210B-1 and MA4SW310B-1
devices are SP2T and SP3T broadband
switches with an integrated bias networks
utilizing
M/A-COM Technology Solutions
TM
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 circuit
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 full area, gold,
backside metallization allows for manual or
automatic chip bonding via 80Au/20Sn solders
or electrically conductive silver epoxy.

Operation of the MA4SW 210B-1 and MA4SW310B-1
Operation of the MA4SW210B-1 and MA4SW310B-1 PIN diode switches is achieved by simultaneous
application of DC currents to the bias pads. The required levels for the different states are shown in the tables
below. The control currents should be supplied by constant current sources. The nominal 40Ω - 60Ω pull-up
resistor voltage @ J4 and J5 is usually -1V for –20mA and +20mA for +1V.
