MASW-002103-1363

MASW-002103-1363 Silicon SPDT Surface Mount HMIC PIN Diode Switch RoHS Compliant Rev. V9 Features Operates 50 MHz to 20 GHz Usable up to 26 GHz Low Insertion Loss High Isolation Low Parasitic Capacitance and Inductance RoHS Compliant Surmount Package Rugged, Fully Monolithic Glass Encapsulated Construction Up to +38 dBm C.W. Power Handling @ +25°C Silicon Nitride Passivation Polymer Scratch Protection Solderable Description The MASW-002103-1363 is a SPDT, surmount, broadband, monolithic switch using two sets of series and shunt connected PIN diodes. This device is designed for use in broadband, low to moderate signal, high performance, switch applications up to 20 GHz. It is a surface mountable switch configured for optimized performance and offers a distinct advantage over MMIC, beamlead and chip and wire hybrid designs. Because the PIN diodes of the MASW-002103-1363 are integrated into the chip and kept within close proximity, the parasitics typically associated with other designs that use individual components are kept to a minimum. To minimize the parasitics and achieve high performance the MASW-002103-1363 is fabricated using M/A-COM Technology Solutions’ patented HMIC™ (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process. This process allows the silicon pedestals, which form the series and shunt diodes or vias, to be imbeded in low loss, low dispersion glass. The combination of low loss glass and using tight spacing between elements results in ...
