Description

The MA4SW410 is a SP4T, series-shunt, broadband, PIN diode switch made with M/A-COM’s Tech’s patented HMICTM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process. This process allows the silicon pedestals which form the series - shunt diodes and vias to be embedded into low loss, low dispersion glass. By also incorporating small spacing between circuit elements, the result` is an HMIC chip with low insertion loss and high isolation at frequencies up to 26.5GHz. It is designed to be used as a moderate power, high performance switch and provide superior performance when compared to similar designs that use discrete components.
