Description
The MADR-009443 is a four channel driver used to
translate TTL control inputs into gate control
voltages for GaAs FET microwave switches and
attenuators. High speed analog CMOS technology
is utilized to achieve low power dissipation at
moderate to high speeds, encompassing most
microwave switching applications. The output HIGH
level is optionally 0 to 2 V (relative to GND) to
optimize the intermodulation products of FET control
devices at low frequencies. For driving PIN diode
circuits, the outputs are nominally switched between
+5 V & -5 V. The actual driver output voltages will be
lower when driving large currents due to the
resistance of the output devices.

Unused logic inputs must be tied to either GND or VCC.
MACOM recommends that VCC be powered on before VEE, and powered off after VEE.
0.01 µF decoupling capacitors are required on the power supply lines.
VOPT is grounded in most cases when FETs are driven. To improve the intermodulation performance and the 1 dB compression point of
GaAs control devices at low frequencies, VOPT can be increased to between 1 and 2 V. The nonlinear characteristics of the GaAs control
devices will approximate performance at 500 MHz. It should be noted that the control current that is on the GaAs MMICs will increase
when positive controls are applied.
11. When this driver is used to drive PIN diodes, VOPT is often set to +5 V, with VEE set to -5 V.

16. Only one section of MADR-009443 is shown. The other three sections will have equivalent performance.
Description of Circuit
The MADR-009443 provides four pairs of complementary outputs that are each capable of driving a maximum of
±35 mA into a load. In addition, with proper capacitor selection (C3 & C4) used in parallel with the current
setting resistor (R1 & R2), additional spiking current can be achieved.
To achieve the Non-Inverting and Inverting complementary voltages, each output is switched between two
internal FETs. The FETs are connected to VOPT for the positive output and VEE for the negative output. VOPT and
VEE are adjustable for various configurations and have the following limitations: V EE can be no more negative
than -10.5 volts; VOPT can be no more positive than +5.5 volts and VOPT must always be less than or equal to
VCC. Increasing VOPT beyond VCC will prevent the device from switching states when commanded to by the logic
input. The most common configuration is to drive VEE at -5.0 volts with VCC and VOPT tied together at +5.0 volts.
