Description
The P35-4230-000-200 is a high performance Gallium Arsenide single pole single throw broadband RF switch MMIC. It is
suitable for use in broadband communications and instrumentation applications. A 50Ω termination is presented at the
isolated output of the switch. Control is effected by the application of complimentary 0V and -5V levels to the control lines
in accordance with the truth table below.
This die is fabricated using MOC's 0.5µm gate length MESFET process (S20) and is fully protected using Silicon Nitride
passivation for excellent performance and reliability. This device is also available packaged in a ceramic package.

Chip Handling, Mounting and Bonding
The back of the chip is gold metallized and can be die-attached manually onto gold, eutectically with Au-Sn (80:20) or with
low temperature conductive epoxy. The maximum allowable chip temperature is 310°C for 2 minutes. Bonds should be
made onto the exposed gold pads with 17 or 25 microns pure gold, half-hard gold wire. Bonding should be achieved with
the chip face at 225°C to 275°C with a heated thermosonic wedge (approx. 125°C) and a maximum force of 60 grams.
Ball bonds may be used but care must be taken to ensure the ball size is compatible with the bonding pads shown. The
length of the bond wires should be minimised to reduce parasitic inductance, particularly those to the RF and ground
pads.
