(From -55°C to +85°C) Schematic V 2.00 Handling Precautions Permanent damage to the MASW8000 may occur if the following precautions are not adhered to: A. Cleanliness — The MASW8000 should be handled in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean unit after the MASW8000 is installed. B. Static Sensitivity — All chip handling equipment and personnel should be DC grounded. Truth Table**** Control Inputs Condition Of Switch A1/B2 A2/B1 RF1 RF2 VINHi V INLow VINLow VINHi On Off Off On ****For normal SPDT operation A1 is connected to B2 and A2 is connected to B1. C. Transient — Avoid instrument and power supply transients while bias is applied to the MASW8000. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. D. Bias —Apply voltage to either of the complementary control port A1/B2 or A2/B1 only when the other is grounded. Neither port should be allowed to ”float”. E .G e n e ral Handling — It is recommended that the MASW8000 chip be handled along the long side of the die with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. DO NOT touch the surface of the chip with fingers or tweezers. Maximum Ratings A. Control Voltage (A1/B2 or A2/B1):–8.5 Vdc B. Max Input RF Power: +34 dBm C. Storage Temperature: –65°C to +175°C D. Max Operating Temperature: +175°C Mounting The MASW8000 is back-metallized with Pd/Ni/Au (100/1,000/10,000Å) metallization. It can be die-mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with thermally conductive epoxy. The package surface should be clean and flat before attachment. Eutectic Die Attach: A. A 80/20 gold/tin preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of approximately 255°C and a tool temperature of 265°C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool tip temperature should be approximately 290°C. B. DO NOT expose the MASW8000 to a temperature greater than 320°C for more than 20 seconds. No more than 30 seconds of scrubbing should be required for attachment. Epoxy Die Attach: A. Apply a minimum amount of epoxy and place the MASW8000 into position. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible around the perimeter of the chip.

Cure epoxy per manufacturer’s recommended schedule. C. Electrically conductive epoxy may be used but is not required. Wire Bonding A. Ball or wedge bond with 1.0 mil diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150°C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommende d .U l t rasonic energy and time should be adjusted to the minimum levels to achieve reliable wirebonds. B. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package. GND bonds should be as short as possible; at least three and no more than four bond wires or two 3-mil ribbons from ground pads to package are recommended.
