Description
M/A-COM’s MA4AGSW8-2 is an Aluminum-Gallium-Arsenide
(AlGaAs) anode enhanced, SP8T PIN diode Series Switch.
Operation is accomplished with 10 mA applied to the low loss port
and 0 V for the isolated ports.
M/A-COM’s
hetero-junction technology which produces lower insertion loss
than conventional GaAs devices. These devices are fabricated on
an OMCVD epitaxial wafer using a process designed for high
device uniformity and extremely low parasitics. The diodes exhibit
low series resistance, ( 3
switching speed ( 20 nS ).
The MA4AGSW8-2 device is fully passivated with silicon nitride,
and has an additional layer of a polyamide for impact protection.
This protective coating prevents damage to the junction and the
anode air bridges during assembly and test. RF to DC bias
networks are required. This allows the MA4AGSW8-2 device to
be optimized for a particular operating band.
Applications
The low capacitance of the PIN diodes makes this device ideal for
use in microwave multi-throw switch designs. The low series
resistance of the diodes reduces the insertion loss of the devices at
microwave/millimeter-wave frequencies. These AlGaAs PIN
switches are used as switching arrays on radar systems, optical
switching networks, instrumentation, and other wideband
multi-throw switch assemblies.
