3. Pins 2 and 5 are not connected internally and should not be

used for grounding. Package has exposed bottom metal

paddle (Pin 7) which should be connected to the circuit

ground. The parasitic inductance introduced by this connec-

tion should be as small as possible.

 Min. detectable power: -17 dBm @ 12 GHz

 Dynamic range: 45 dB @ 12 GHz

 Built-In Temperature Compensation

 Lead-Free 1.5 x 1.2 mm 6-Lead TDFN Pkg

 Halogen-Free “Green” Mold Compound

 RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible

Description

The MACP-010562 belongs to a series of small,

easy-to-use, broadband, directional detectors. With

integrated low loss directional couplers and built-in

temperature compensation circuits, these detectors

provide an easy way to monitor the power of a signal

travelling in a specific direction along a transmission

line. Detectors are housed in a miniature, surface

mount, lead less plastic package. They require a

small amount of bias for proper performance. The

total bias current is less than 0.5 mA.

Typical applications include power monitoring and

leveling in Point-to-Point radios, IMS, Radar, VSAT,

EW, and Aerospace & Defense systems.

The surface mount package is small yet can be

handled and placed with standard pick and place

assembly equipment. Detectors are fabricated on a

well established GaAs process featuring full

passivation for performance and reliability.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive

to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be

damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control

techniques should be used when handling these

devices.

Recommended PCB Configuration Application Information

The MACP-010562 is designed to deliver high

performance and to be easy to use.

No external components are needed. The RF

connections required by the MACP-010562 are

shown in a schematic below.

Pin 3 should be connected to the RF line bringing

the input signal. Pin 1 is the RF output. The third

required connection is that to the RF ground. The

exposed metal paddle on the back of the package

must be connected to the RF ground of the board

housing the detector. This can be accomplished by

using conductive via holes. It is important to ensure

that the parasitic inductance associated with the

connection between the detector and the RF ground

is as small as possible. The RF ground also provides

the return path for the DC bias current.

DC Bias

The MACP-010562 operates with a positive 3.2 V

bias applied to Pin 4. The output voltage is available

on Pin 6.

Evaluation Board

MA-COM Technology Solutions’ will supply an

evaluation board and loose samples upon qualified

request. The kit consists of a PCB and SMA

connectors. MA-COM Technology Solutions’

suggests a Rogers 4350 dielectric of .008” (0.20

mm) with ½ ounce copper. Proper grounding is

always important, we suggest 8 mil (0.20 mm) vias

placed generously underneath the part.
