General Description
The HMC322 is a broadband non-reflective GaAs
MESFET SP8T switch chip. Covering DC to 10 GHz,
this switch offers high isolation and low insertion
loss and extends the frequency coverage of Hittite’s
SP8T switch product line. This switch also includes
an on board binary decoder circuit which reduces
the required logic control lines to three. The switch
operates using a negative control voltage of 0/-5V,
and requires a fixed bias of -5V. All data is tested with
the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025
mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.5 mm (20 mils)
length.
Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, With 0/-5V Control, Vee= -5V, 50 Ohm System

Handling Precautions
Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage.
Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag
for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment.
Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems.
Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD strikes.
Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize
inductive pick-up.
General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the
chip has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers.
Mounting
The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting surface should be clean
and fl at.
Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the
perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule.
Wire Bonding
Ball or wedge bond with 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of
150 deg. C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum
level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package or
substrate. All bonds should be as short as possible <0.31mm (12 mils).
