MA4SW410B-1 HMIC™ Silicon PIN Diode Switch with Integrated Bias Network RoHS Compliant M/A-COM Products V3 Features ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Broad Bandwidth Specified up to 18 GHz Usable up to 26 GHz Integrated Bias Network Low Insertion Loss / High Isolation Rugged, Glass Encapsulated Construction Fully Monolithic Description The MA4SW410B-1 device is a SP4T broadband switch with integrated bias network utilizing M/A-COM'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 elements, this combination of silicon and glass gives HMIC devices low loss and high isolation performance with exceptional repeatability through low millimeter frequencies. Large bond pads facilitate the use of low inductance ribbon bonds, while gold backside metallization allows for manual or automatic chip bonding via 80/20 - Au/Sn, 62/36/2 - Sn/Pb/Ag solders or electrically conductive silver epoxy. Yellow areas denote wire bond pads Parameter Absolute Maximum Operating Temperature -65oC to +125oC Storage Temperature -65oC to +150oC Junction Temperature +175oC Applied Reverse Voltage 50V Applications RF Incident Power +30dBm C.W. These high performance switches are suitable for use in multi-band ECM, Radar, and instrumentation control circuits where high isolation to insertion loss ratios are required. With a standard +5V/-5V, TTL controlled PIN diode driver, 80nS switching speeds can be achieved. Bias Current +25°C ± 40mA 1 Note: 1.

Operation of the MA4SW410B-1 Operation of the HMIC Series of PIN switches is achieved by the simultaneous application of negative DC current to the low loss port and positive DC current to the remaining isolated switching ports per the Driver Connections table below. The control currents should be supplied by constant current sources. For insertion loss, -10mA bias results in approximately –2V, and for Isolation ,+10mA yields approximately +0.9V at the respective bias nodes. The backside area of the die is the RF and DC return ground plane.

MA4SW410B-1 HMIC™ Silicon PIN Diode Switch with Integrated Bias Network RoHS Compliant M/A-COM Products V3 Wire/Ribbon and Die Attachment Recommendations Cleanliness These chips should be handled in a clean environment. Wire Bonding Thermosonic wedge wire bonding using 0.00025” x 0.003” 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. Ultrasonic energy should be adjusted to the minimum required to achieve a good bond. RF bond wires should be kept as short and straight as possible. 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 tool tip temperature 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 containing tin should not be used. Epoxy Die Attachment A minimum amount of epoxy should be used. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible around the perimeter of the chip after placement. Cure epoxy per manufacturer’s schedule. (typically 125-150oC).
