Description

The MA4SW410 is a SP4T Series-Shunt Broad Band Switch made

with M/A-COM’s Unique HMIC

TM

(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 a low loss, low

dispersion glass. This hybrid combination of Silicon and Glass

gives HMIC Switches exceptional low loss and remarkable high

isolation through low millimeter-wave frequencies.

Applications

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 +5 V/-5 V, TTL Controlled PIN Diode

Driver, 50 nS Switching Speeds are Achieved.
