Description
The MADR-010574 switch driver is designed to work
with M/A-COM Technology Solutions high power
and high voltage PIN diodes. This driver consists of
two independently controlled drivers which are able
to provide 200 mA series / 50 mA shunt current to a
series/shunt, series/shunt SPDT PIN diode switch.
The back bias voltage is configurable from 20 V to
250 V. High voltage level shifters are integrated so
that it can be easily controlled by 3 V or 5 V CMOS
logic. While consuming low quiescent current, this
driver has a typical delay of less than 8 µs when
driving 220 pF capacitor load. If needed, the
switching speed can be improved by consuming
more quiescent power.
This driver is packaged in a lead free 7 mm PQFN-
16LD package and is available in tape and reel
packaging for high volume applications.

1. The paddle of the QFN package should be tied to ground.
2. N/C pins (except Pin 15) can be grounded. The clearance
from high voltage pins should be at least 0.8 mm. Pin 15
must be left open.

3. Unused Controls should be either grounded or connected to V
CC
. They should never be left open.
4. Refer to “Application Circuit: Driving SPDT Switch with MA4P504-1072T Pin Diodes” for configuration of diode bias currents.
5. This sinking bias current is necessary for normal driver operation. The easiest way is to connect a 0402 resistor R
BIAS
between Pin V
CC
and
Pin I
BIAS
. Then I
BIAS
can be calculated by: I
BIAS
= (V
CC
-0.6)/(500+R
BIAS
)
6. Refer to graph “Typ. Ton Driving 220 pF Caps vs. IBIAS” on page 3 and the chart “Typ. IDD vs. IBIAS at 25°C” on page 4 for the tradeoff
between switching speed and power consumption.

9. The actual voltage levels for “Low” and “High” are dependent
on the current load to the driver. They can be estimated from
the driver on resistance.
Powering On/Off Sequence:
V
DD
should be turned on after V
CC
, and the rise
time of V
DD
should be slower than 2.5 µs. When
powering off, V
DD
should be turned off before V

10. The parameters were measured with 500 kΩ R
BIAS
connecting between pin V
CC
and pin I
BIAS
.
11. I
BIAS
is included in the quiescent V
CC
current due to the bias configuration.
12. Switching parameters were measured driving 220 pF capacitors with no current load. Controls C1 and C2 were tied together. It will be
faster when C2 is inverted from C1, which is case driving a SPDT switch.

14. This is the schematic of MADR-010547-001SMB. The frequency range for this application circuit is 200 MHz to 500 MHz. The bias current
for the series diodes is 200 mA. The bias current for the shunt diodes is 50 mA. The recommended inductors are Coil Craft
0603LS-181XJLB for both current and frequency considerations. For different frequency applications, both capacitors and inductors should
be adjusted accordingly.
