MA4SW610B-1 HMICTM Silicon SP6T PIN Diode Switch with Integrated Bias Network Features Rev. V5 Functional Diagrams Broad Bandwidth Specified up to 18 GHz Integrated Bias Network Low Insertion Loss / High Isolation Rugged, Glass Encapsulated Construction Fully Monolithic RoHS* Compliant Description The MA4SW610B-1 device is a SP6T broadband switch with integrated bias network utilizing MACOM's HMIC TM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process, US Patent 5,268,310. This process allows the incorporation of silicon pedestals that form series and shunt diodes or vias by imbedding them in low loss, low dispersion glass. By using small spacing between elements, this combination of silicon and glass gives HMIC devices low loss and high isolation performance with exceptional repeatability through low millimeter frequencies. Large bond pads facilitate the use of low inductance ribbon bonds, while gold backside metallization allows for manual or automatic chip bonding via 80/20 - Au/Sn, 62/36/2 - Sn/Pb/Ag solders or electrically conductive silver epoxy. These high performance switches are suitable for use in multi-band ECM, Radar, and instrumentation control circuits where high isolation to insertion loss ratios are required. With a standard +5 V / -5 V, TTL controlled PIN diode driver, 80 ns switching speeds can be achieved.

Typical switching speed is measured from (10% to 90% and 90% to 10% of detected RF voltage), driven by TTL compatible drivers. In the modulating state, (the switching port is modulating, all other ports are in steady state isolation.) The switching speed is measured using an RC network using the following values: R = 50 - 200 , C = 390 - 1000 pF. Driver spike current, IC = C dv/dt, ratio of spike current to steady state current, is typically 10:1.

V5 Operation of the MA4SW610B-1 PIN Switch The simultaneous application of negative DC current to the low loss port and positive DC current to the remaining isolated ports as shown in the schematic provides successful RF operation of the MA4SW Series of PIN Diode Switches. The backside area of the die is the RF and DC return ground plane. The DC bias return is located on common port J1. Constant current sources should supply the DC control currents. In the low loss state, the series diode must be forward biased and the shunt diode reverse biased. For all isolated ports, the shunt diode is forward biased while the series diode is reverse biased. This design improves insertion loss, P1dB, IP3, and switching speed by incorporating a voltage pull-up resistor (~100 ) in the DC return path (J1) under insertion loss bias. A typical value of |-3 V| is achieved at the insertion loss bias node using 20 mA, with a Standard, 5 V TTL controlled PIN diode driver.

V5 Cleanliness Chip Mounting The chips should be handled in a clean environment free of dust and organic contamination. HMIC switches have Ti-Pt-Au backside metallization and can be mounted using a gold-tin eutectic solder or conductive epoxy. Mounting surface must be free of contamination and flat. Wire / Ribbon Bonding Thermo compression wedge bonding using 0.003" x 0.00025" ribbon or 0.001" diameter gold wire is recommended. A work stage temperature of 150C - 200C, tool tip temperature of 120C - 150 and a downward force of 18 to 22 grams should be used. If ultrasonic energy is necessary, it should be adjusted to the minimum level required to achieve a good bond. Excessive power or force will fracture the silicon beneath the bond pad causing it to lift. RF bond wires and ribbons should be kept as short as possible for optimum RF performance. Eutectic Die Attachment An 80/20, gold-tin, eutectic solder is recommended. Adjust the work surface temperature to 255oC and the tool tip temperature to 265oC. After placing the chip onto the circuit board re-flow the solder by applying hot forming gas (95/5 Ni/H) to the top surface of the chip. Temperature should be approximately 290oC and not exceed 320oC for more than 20 seconds. Typically no more than three seconds is necessary for attachment. Solders rich in tin should be avoided Epoxy Die Attachment A minimum amount of epoxy, 1 - 2 mils thick, should be used to attach chip. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible around the outer perimeter of the chip after placement. Epoxy cure time is typically 1 hour at 150C. 6 MACOM Technology Solutions Inc.
