MABT-011000 Integrated Bias Network 2 - 18 GHz Features Rev. V1 Functional Schematic Specified over Broad Bandwidth: 2 - 18 GHz Surface Mount Extremely Low Insertion Loss: < 0.3 dB High RF-DC Isolation: > 34 dB Rugged, Fully Monolithic Glass Encapsulation RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible B (DC Bias) Ground Description The MABT-011000 is a fully monolithic broadband surface mount bias network utilizing MACOM’s patented HMIC process. This process allows the formation of silicon vias by imbedding them in low loss, low dispersion glass along with high Q spiral inductors and MIM capacitors. The close proximity of elements and the combination of silicon and glass give this HMIC device low loss and high performance with exceptional repeatability through millimeter frequencies. J1 (IN) Pin Configuration Large vias reduce inductance and allow part to be more easily soldered, while the gold backside metallization provides the RF and DC ground. This allows for manual or automatic die attach via electrically conductive silver epoxy or RoHS compliant solders. The MABT-011000 bias network is suitable for the DC biasing of PIN diode control circuits. It functions as an RF-DC de-coupling network as well as the DC return and contains a series DC blocking capacitor. DC currents up to 60 mA and DC voltages up to 50 V may be used.

V1 Bias Circuit for PIN Diode Switch Operation of the MABT-011000 bias network is accomplished by applying DC bias to the DC port on the die. Port J2 provides the DC bias to the corresponding, connected, microwave device. Port J1 has a DC blocking capacitor, allowing current to only RF port J2, such as in a bias tee configuration. The MABT-011000 can also be used as a ground return when the DC Bias Port is attached to the RF and DC ground. The small DC resistance (≈ 7 Ω) of the DC Bias Port allows up to +/- 60 mA @ +/- 50 V to be delivered while still maintaining >35 dB RF-to-DC isolation. J2 IN J1 OUT External DC Block PIN Diodes DC Bias Shunt Exclusive DC Bias Handling Procedures A vacuum pick up tool with a soft tip is recommended while placing the die. Attachment to a circuit board is made simple through the use of standard surface mount technology. Mounting pads are located on the back surface of the die. Position the die so that its mounting pads are aligned with the circuit board land pads. Since the HMIC glass is transparent, the edges of the mounting pads can be visually inspected through the die after attachment is completed. J1 IN For applications where the average power is ≤ 1 W, a thermally-conductive silver epoxy may be used. Cure per manufacturers recommended time and temperature, typically 1 hour at 150°C. J2 J1 OUT PIN Diodes Connections may be made onto hard or soft substrates using 80Au20Sn or other solder. When soldering these devices to a hard substrate, a solder re-flow method is preferred. When soldering to soft substrates, such as Duroid, it is recommended to choose a solder that minimizes stress due to any TCE mismatches. Typical re-flow profiles are provided in Application Note M538, Surface Mounting Instructions, available in the Technical Resources section of the MACOM website at www.macom.com. Solder reflow should not be performed by causing heat to flow through the top surface of the die to the back surface of the die.
