Description
The MASW-004100-1193 is a SP4T series-shunt
broad band switch made with M/A-COM’s unique
HMICTM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit)
process, US Patent 5,268,310. This process allows
the incorporation of silicon pedestals that form
series and shunt diodes or vias by imbedding them
in a low loss, low dispersion glass. This hybrid
combination of silicon and glass gives HMIC
switches exceptional low loss and remarkable high
isolation through low millimeter-wave frequencies.

control circuits where high isolation to insertion loss
ratios are required. With a standard +5V/-5V, TTL
controlled PIN diode driver, 50nS switching speeds
are achieved.

Notes:
Typical switching speed is measured from 10% to 90% of detected RF voltage driven by a TTL compatible driver. Driver
output parallel RC network uses a capacitor between 390pF – 560pF and a resistor between 150Ω – 220Ω to achieve 50nS
rise and fall times.

Operation of the MASW-004100-1193 PIN Switch
Operation of the MASW-004100-1193 PIN switch is achieved by the simultaneous application of negative DC
current to the low loss port and positive DC current to the remaining isolated switching ports as shown in
Figure 1. The backside area of the die is the RF and DC return ground plane. The DC return is achieved on
the common port, J1. The DC control currents should be supplied by constant current source. The voltages
at these points will not exceed ±1.5 volts (1.2 volts typical) for supply currents up to ±20 mA. In the low loss
state, the series diode must be forward biased and the shunt diode reverse biased. For all the isolated ports,
the shunt diode is forward biased and the series diode is reverse biased. The bias network design should yield
> 30 dB RF to DC isolation.
Best insertion loss, P1dB, IP3, and switching speed are achieved by using a voltage pull-up resistor in the DC
return path, J1. A minimum value of |-2V| is recommended at this return node, which is achievable with a
standard,

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleanliness
These chips should be handled in a clean environment free of organic contamination.
Electro-Static Sensitivity
The MASW-00 Series PIN switches are ESD, Class 1A sensitive (HBM). The proper ESD handling procedures
must be used.
Wire Bonding
Thermosonic wedge wire bonding using 0.003” x 0.00025” ribbon or 0.001” diameter gold wire is recommended.
A stage temperature of 150°C and a force of 18 to 22 grams should be used. Ultrasonic energy should be
adjusted to the minimum required to achieve a good bond. RF wire and ribbon bonds should be kept as short as
possible to minimize parasitic inductance.
Mounting
These chips have Ti-Pt-Au back metal. They can be die mounted with a 80Au/20Sn or electrically conductive Ag
epoxy. Mounting surface must be flat and clean of oils and contaminants.
Eutectic Die Attachment
An 80/20 gold-tin eutectic solder preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255°C and a tool
tip temperature of 265°C. When hot gas is applied, the tool tip temperature should be 290°C. The chip should
not be exposed to temperatures greater than 320°C for more than 10 seconds. No more than 3 seconds should
be required for the die attachment.
Silver Epoxy Die Attachment
Assembly should be preheated to 125°C-150°C. A Controlled thickness of 2 mils is recommended for best
electrical and thermal conductivity. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible around the perimeter of the chip after
placement to ensure complete coverage. Cure epoxy per manufacturer’s recommended schedule.
