1. Typical switching speed is measured from (10% to 90% and 90% to 10% of detected RF voltage), driven by TTL compatible drivers. In the
modulating state, (the switching port is modulating, all other ports are in steady state isolation.) The switching speed is measured using an
RC network using the following values: R = 50 - 200 Ω, C = 390 - 1000 pF. Driver spike current, I
C
= C dv/dt, ratio of spike current to steady
state current, is typically 10:1.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these Class 0
(HBM) and Class C1 (CDM) devices.
2. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
3. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
4. Maximum operating conditions for a combination of RF power,
DC bias and temperature: +33 dBm CW @ 15 mA (per diode)
@ +85°C.

MASW-006102-13610
HMIC™ Silicon SP6T PIN Diode Switch
with Integrated Bias Network
Operation of the MASW-006102-13610 PIN Switch
The simultaneous application of negative DC current to the low loss port and positive DC current to the remaining
isolated ports as shown in the schematic provides successful RF operation of the MA4SW Series of PIN Diode
Switches. The backside area of the die is the RF and DC return ground plane. The DC bias return is located on
common port J1. Constant current sources should supply the DC control currents.
In the low loss state, the series diode must be forward biased and the shunt diode reverse biased. For all isolated
ports, the shunt diode is forward biased while the series diode is reverse biased.
This design improves insertion loss, P1dB, IP3, and switching speed by incorporating a voltage pull-up resistor
(~100 Ω) in the DC return path
(J1)
under insertion loss bias. A typical value of |-3 V| is achieved at the insertion
loss bias node using ±20 mA, with a Standard, ±5 V TTL controlled PIN diode driver.
