Forward Bias Diode Voltage: Vf is ~0.9V @ 22 mA; Vf is ~1.0V @ 35 mA 9. R1 is calculated by (VCC - Vf) / Iseries - 22 Ω, where Iseries is the desired forward bias current for the series diodes. For 20 mA load current, R1 = 178 Ω @ VCC = 5.0V and 93 Ω @ VCC = 3.3V. For 50 mA load current, R1 = 57.6 Ω @ VCC = 5.0V and 24 Ω @ VCC= 3.3V. 10. R2 is calculated by (VDD - Vf) / Ishunt, where Ishunt is the desired forward bias current for the shunt diode. The power rating is calculated by Ishunt x (VDD - Vf). For 28V VDD and 20 mA of Ishunt, R2 should use a 1W, 1.3k ohm resistor. 11. C8 is already built-in for M/A-COM MASW-000834-13560T switch. 12. The current through the back-biased diodes will be the leakage current for the diodes 13. C1-C7, L1-L4, R1, R2, and the switch are discrete components that should be installed on the user’s board. It is recommended that Coilcraft 0603CS-27NXJLW or equivalent be used for L1-L4 at 2 GHz. For other frequency band, C1-C3 and L1-L4 should be adjusted. 14. The switching speed will be affected by the value of VCC, VDD, C6, C7, the size of the PIN diodes, and the forward bias currents. Use higher VCC and VDD, and lower forward bias currents for faster switching. 5 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 • Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
