CHIP LAYOUT
DESCRIPTION
M/A-COM's MA4AGSW8-2 is an Aluminum-GalliumArsenide (AlGaAs) anode enhanced, SP8T, PIN diode series switch. Operation is accomplished with 10 mA applied to the low loss port and 0V for the isolated ports. M/A-COM's Technology Solutions AlGaAs process utilizes a patented 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 used have low series resistance, (3 ) , low capacitance (20 fF) , and fast switching speed (20 nS). The MA4AGSW8-2 device is fully passivated with silicon nitride, and has an extra layer of polyamide for added scratch and impact protection. This protective coating prevents damage to the diode junction and anode air bridges during handling and assembly. External RF to DC bias networks which are optimized for the particular operating band of interest are required.

APPLICATIONS
The low capacitance of the internal PIN diodes makes this switch ideal for use in many microwave multi-throw switch designs. The low series resistance of the diodes reduces the insertion loss at microwave millimeter-wave frequencies. These AlGaAs PIN switches can be used as switching arrays on radar systems, optical switching networks, instrumentation, and other wideband multi-throw switch assemblies.

OPERATION OF THE MA4AGSW8-2
The MA4AGSW8-2 switch is designed to operate in systems where lower D.C. current consumption and D.C. operating voltages are required. The application of either +10 mA or -10 mA DC bias current to the selected port will provide the low insertion loss state. Typically this low loss, " ON " bias voltage through (3) series diodes is | 4.5 Volts | maximum. All Isolated Ports can be set to 0V at 0 mA, or the application of | 5 V | back bias at 0 mA will improve the isolation and switching speed. RF to DC bias networks, ( such as the MA4BN18-40 ) are required on all RF Ports. A simple single supply, +5V, PIN Diode TTL Gate Driver can be used to supply current for loss or 0V back bias for isolation to switch the individual RF Ports. In this bias scheme, +5 V through a current limiting resistor would be applied at the common port and each RF port would be connected to a TTL Gate. Low loss would occur when the Selected Gate Voltage is 0.5 V @ + 10 mA , " TTL 0 " and Isolation would occur when the Selected Gate Voltage is +5V @ 0mA ( 0 V Back Bias ), " TTL 1 ". For faster switching speeds ( < 20 nS ) , a +/- 5V , PIN Diode TTL Driver should be employed to help remove the diode stored charge with back bias. In this case, the common port is connected to D.C. Ground. Insertion Loss is achieved with -10 mA @ - 4.5 V and Isolation is accomplished by applying +5V @ 0mA to the selected RF ports respectively.

HANDLING
CLEANLINESS
These chips should be handled in a clean environment.
STATIC SENSITIVITY
These Devices are considered ESD Class 1A, HBM. Proper ESD techniques should be used when handling these devices.
GENERAL HANDLING
The protective polymer coating on the active areas of the die provides scratch and impact protection, particularly for the metal air bridge, which contacts the diode's anode. Die should primarily be handled with vacuum pickup tools, or alternatively with plastic tweezers.
ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES
The MA4AGSW8-2, AlGaAs switch is designed to be mounted with electrically conductive silver epoxy or with a low temperature solder perform, which does not have a rich tin content.
SOLDER DIE ATTACH
Only low temperature solders which do not scavenge gold, such as Indalloy #2, are recommended. Do not expose die to temperatures greater than 300C for more than 10 seconds.
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVE EPOXY DIE ATTACH
Use a controlled thickness of approximately 2 mils for best electrical conductivity and lowest thermal resistance. Cure epoxy per manufacturer's schedule. Typically 150C for 1 hour.
RIBBON/WIRE BONDING
Thermo-compression wedge or ball bonding may be used to attach ribbons or wire to the gold bonding pads. A 1/4 x 3 mil gold ribbon is recommended on all RF ports and should be kept as short as possible for the lowest inductance and best microwave performance. For more detailed handling and assembly instructions, see Application Note M541, "Bonding and Handling Procedures for Chip Diode Devices" at www.macomtech.com.
