DESCRIPTION
MACOM’s MA4AGSW5 is an Aluminum-GalliumArsenide, single pole, five throw (SP5T), PIN diode switch. The switch features enhanced AlGaAs anodes which are formed using MACOM’s hetero-junction technology. AlGaAs technology produces a switch with less loss than a device fabricated using conventional GaAs processes. As much as a 0.3 dB reduction in insertion loss can be realized at 50 GHz. This device is fabricated on an OMCVD epitaxial wafer using a process designed for high device uniformity and extremely low parasitics. The diodes within the chip exhibit low series resistance, low capacitance, and fast switching speed. They are fully passivated with silicon nitride and have an additional polymer layer for scratch protection. The protective coating prevents damage during handling and assembly to the diode junction and the chip anode air-bridges. Off chip bias circuitry is required.
APPLICATIONS
The high electron mobility of AlGaAs and the low capacitance of the PIN diodes used makes this switch ideal for fast response, high frequency, multi-throw switch designs w...
