For use as a replacement part to the DR65-0003
PIN Driver.
This Application Note describes how to use the
M/A-COM DR65-0109 Single Channel Driver for
FET Switches as a SP2T PIN Diode Driver. When
configured per the directions herein, the DR65-0109
will provide the same functionality as the DR65-0003
in the same package style, HOWEVER THE
PINOUT IS DIFFERENT. USING THE DR65-0109

Rev. V2
Typical Application for SP2T Circuit
Description of Circuit
The DR65-0109 provides 2 complementary outputs that are each capable of driving a maximum of ±50 mA into
a load. In addition, with proper capacitor selection (C3 & C4) used in parallel with the current setting resistor (R1
& R2), a maximum of ±200 mA of spiking current can be achieved. Configurations using DC steering diodes and
a lower Vdd supply will decrease the peak spiking current available to the user.
To achieve the Non-Inverting and Inverting complementary voltages, each output is switched between two internal FETs. The FETs are connected to Vdd for the positive output and Vee for the negative output. Vdd and Vee
are adjustable for various configurations and have the following limitations: Vee can be no more negative than –
5.5 volts; Vdd can be no more positive than 5.5 volts AND Vdd must always be less than or equal to Vcc. Increasing Vdd beyond Vcc will prevent the device from switching states when commanded to by the logic input.
Recommended configurations are to drive Vee at –5.0 volts and Vcc and Vdd should be tied together at 5 volts.
