P35-4230-000-200 Marconi Optical Components GaAs MMIC SPST Terminated Switch, DC - 4GHz Features * * * * Broadband performance Low insertion loss; 1.6dB typ at 2GHz Ultra low DC power consumption Fast switching speed; 3ns typical Description The P35-4230-000-200 is a high performance Gallium Arsenide single pole single throw broadband RF switch MMIC. It is suitable for use in broadband communications and instrumentation applications. A 50 termination is presented at the isolated output of the switch. Control is effected by the application of complimentary 0V and -5V levels to the control lines in accordance with the truth table below. This die is fabricated using MOC's 0.5m gate length MESFET process (S20) and is fully protected using Silicon Nitride passivation for excellent performance and reliability. This device is also available packaged in a ceramic package.

The maximum allowable chip temperature is 310C for 2 minutes. Bonds should be made onto the exposed gold pads with 17 or 25 microns pure gold, half-hard gold wire. Bonding should be achieved with the chip face at 225C to 275C with a heated thermosonic wedge (approx. 125C) and a maximum force of 60 grams. Ball bonds may be used but care must be taken to ensure the ball size is compatible with the bonding pads shown. The length of the bond wires should be minimised to reduce parasitic inductance, particularly those to the RF and ground pads.
