Description

The MASW-001100-1190, MASW-002100-1191 and MASW-003100-1192 are broadband monolithic switches using series and shunt connected silicon PIN diodes. They are designed for use as 2W, high performance switches in applications up to 26.5GHz. They provide performance levels superior to those realized by hybrid MIC designs incorporating beamlead and PIN chip diodes that require chip and wire assembly.

These switches are fabricated using M/A-COM’s patented HMICTM (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 through low millimeter frequencies.
