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 MACOM’s 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
an HMIC device with low loss and high isolation
through low millimeter wave frequencies.

The topside is fully encapsulated with silicon nitride
and also has an additional layer of polymer for
scratch and impact protection. The protective
coating guards against damage to the junction and
the anode airbridges during handling and assembly.
