Description

The MA4SW110 (SPST), MA4SW210 (SPDT) and

MA4SW310 (SP3T) are series-shunt, broadband,

(Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process.

This process allows the silicon pedestals which form

the series - shunt diodes and vias to be embedded

into low loss, low dispersion glass. By also

incorporating

small

spacing

between

circuit

elements, the result is an HMIC chip with low

insertion loss and high isolation at frequencies up to

26.5 GHz.

They are designed for use as moderate power, high

performance

switches

and

provide

superior

performance when compared to similar designs that

use discrete components.

The top side of the chip is protected by a polymer

coating for manual or automatic handling and large

gold bond pads help facilitate connection of low

inductance ribbons. The gold metallization on the

backside of the chip allows for attachment via 80/20,

gold/tin solder or conductive silver epoxy.
