MA4SWx10B-1 Series HMIC™ Silicon PIN Diode Switches with Integrated Bias Network Functional Diagrams1 Features Rev. V5 Broad Bandwidth Specified 2 - 18 GHz Usable up to 26 GHz Integrated Bias Network Lower Insertion Loss / Higher Isolation Fully Monolithic, Glass Encapsulated Chip Up to +33 dBm CW Power Handling @ +25°C RoHS* Compliant MA4SW210B-1 (SP2T) Description The MA4SW210B-1 (SP2T) and MA4SW310B-1 (SP3T) broadband switches with an integrated bias networks utilizing MACOM’s 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 low loss, low dispersion glass. By using small spacing between circuit elements, this combination of silicon and glass gives HMIC devices low loss and high isolation performance with exceptional repeatability through low millimeter frequencies. MA4SW310B-1 (SP3T) The top side of the chip is protected by a polymer coating for manual or automatic handling and large gold bond pads help facilitate connection of low inductance ribbons. The gold metallization on the backside of the chip allows for attachment via 80/20 (gold/tin) solder or conductive silver epoxy.

Typical switching speed is measured from (10% to 90% and 90% to 10% of detected RF voltage), driven by TTL compatible drivers. In the modulating state, (the switching port is modulating, all other ports are in steady state isolation.) The switching speed is measured using an RC network using the following values: R = 50 - 200 Ω, C = 390 - 1000 pF. Driver spike current, IC = C dv/dt, ratio of spike current to steady state current, is typically 10:1. 2 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.

Maximum operating conditions for a combination of RF power, DC bias and temperature: +33 dBm CW @ 15 mA (per diode) @ +85°C. Handling Procedures Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage: Static Sensitivity These electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should be used when handling these Class 0 (HBM) and Class C1 (CDM).devices. Rev. V5 Cleanliness The chips should be handled in a clean environment free of dust and organic contamination. Wire / Ribbon Bonding Thermo compression wedge bonding using 0.003” x 0.00025” ribbon or 0.001” diameter gold wire is recommended. A work stage temperature of 150°C - 200°C, tool tip temperature of 120°C - 150° and a downward force of 18 to 22 grams should be used. If ultrasonic energy is necessary, it should be adjusted to the minimum level required to achieve a good bond. Excessive power or force will fracture the silicon beneath the bond pad causing it to lift. RF bond wires and ribbons should be kept as short as possible for optimum RF performance. Chip Mounting HMIC switches have Ti-Pt-Au backside metallization and can be mounted using a gold-tin eutectic solder or conductive epoxy. Mounting surface must be free of contamination and flat. Eutectic Die Attachment An 80/20, gold-tin, eutectic solder is recommended. Adjust the work surface temperature to 255oC and the tool tip temperature to 265oC. After placing the chip onto the circuit board re-flow the solder by applying hot forming gas (95/5 Ni/H) to the top surface of the chip. Temperature should be approximately 290oC and not exceed 320oC for more than 20 seconds. Typically no more than three seconds is necessary for attachment. Solders rich in tin should be avoided Epoxy Die Attachment A minimum amount of epoxy, 1 - 2 mils thick, should be used to attach chip. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible around the outer perimeter of the chip after placement. Epoxy cure time is typically 1 hour at 150°C. 3 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
