used to translate TTL control inputs into gate control
voltages for GaAs FET microwave switches and
attenuators. High speed analog CMOS technology
is utilized to achieve low power dissipation at
moderate to high speeds, encompassing most
microwave switching applications. The output HIGH
level is optionally 0 to 2 V (relative to GND) to
optimize the intermodulation products of FET control
devices at low frequencies. For driving PIN diode
circuits, the outputs are nominally switched between
+5 V & -5 V. The actual driver output voltages will be
lower when driving large currents due to the
resistance of the output devices.

Unused logic inputs must be tied to either GND or V
CC
.
MACOM recommends that V
CC
be powered on before V
EE
, and powered off after V
EE
.
0.01 µF decoupling capacitors are required on the power supply lines.
V
OPT
is grounded in most cases when FETs are driven. To improve the intermodulation performance and the 1 dB compression point of
GaAs control devices at low frequencies, V
OPT
can be increased to between 1 and 2 V. The nonlinear characteristics of the GaAs control
devices will approximate performance at 500 MHz. It should be noted that the control current that is on the GaAs MMICs will increase
when positive controls are applied.
11. When this driver is used to drive PIN diodes, V
OPT
is often set to +5 V, with V
EE
set to -5 V.
