MA4SW110 MA4SW210 MA4SW310 HMIC™ Silicon PIN Diode Switches RoHS Compliant Rev. V7 Features ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Broad Bandwidth Specified from 50 MHz to 20 GHz Usable from 50 MHz to 26.5 GHz Lower Insertion Loss and Higher Isolation than Comparable pHempt Designs ♦ Rugged Fully Monolithic, Glass Encapsulated Chip with Polymer Protection Coating ♦ Up to +30dBm C.W. Power Handling @ +25°C MA4SW110 Description The MA4SW110, MA4SW210 and MA4SW310 are broadband monolithic switches using series and shunt connected silicon PIN diodes. They are designed for use as moderate signal, high performance switches in applications up to 26.5GHz. They provide performance levels superior to those realized by hybrid MIC designs incorporating beam lead and PIN chip diodes that require chip and wire assembly. MA4SW210 These switches are fabricated using M/A-COM’s patented 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 elements, this combination of silicon and glass gives HMIC devices low loss and high isolation performance through low millimeter frequencies. Large bond pads facilitate the use of low inductance ribbon leads, while gold backside metallization allows for manual or automatic chip bonding via 80/20 , AuSn solder or conductive Ag epoxy.

MA4SW110 MA4SW210 MA4SW310 HMIC™ Silicon PIN Diode Switches RoHS Compliant Rev. V7 Operation of the MA4SW Series Switches Operation of the MA4SW series of PIN switches is achieved by simultaneous application of a negative DC current to the low loss switching arm J1, J2, or J3, and a positive DC current to the remaining switching arms as shown in the bias connection circuits. DC return is achieved via J1. The control currents should be supplied by constant current sources. The voltages at these points will not exceed +1.5 volts (1.2 volts typical) at currents up to + 20mA. In the low loss state, the series diode must be forward biased and the shunt diode reverse biased. In the isolated arm, the shunt diode is forward biased and the series diode is reverse biased.

MA4SW110 MA4SW210 MA4SW310 HMIC™ Silicon PIN Diode Switches RoHS Compliant Rev. V7 Wire Bonding Thermosonic wedge bonding using 0.003” x 0.00025” ribbon or 0.001” diameter gold wire is recommended. A heat stage temperature of 150oC and a 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. RF bond wires should be kept as short as possible. Chip Mounting The HMIC switches have Ti-Pt-Au back metal. They can be die mounted with a gold-tin eutectic solder preform or conductive epoxy. Mounting surface must be clean and flat. Eutectic Die Attachment: An 80/20, gold-tin, eutectic solder preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255oC and a tool tip temperature of 265oC. When hot gas is applied, the temperature at the chip should be 290oC. The chip should not be exposed to temperatures greater than 320oC for more than 20 seconds. No more than three seconds should be required for attachment. Solders rich in tin should not be used. 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. Cure epoxy per product instructions. Typically 150°C for 1 hour.
