Description

The MASW-004100-1193 is a SP4T, series-shunt, broad band, PIN diode, switch made with M/A-COM Tech’s unique HMICTM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process, US Patent 5,268,310. This process allows for the incorporation of silicon pedestals that form the series and shunt diodes or vias by imbedding them in a low loss, low dispersion glass. This hybrid combination of silicon and glass gives HMIC switches exceptional low loss and remarkably high isolation through low millimeter-wave frequencies

Features

♦ Ultra Broad Bandwidth: 50MHz to 26GHz

♦ 0.9 Insertion Loss , 34dB Isolation at 20GHz

♦ 50nS Switching Speed

♦ Reliable, Fully Monolithic, Glass Encapsulated Construction

♦ +33dBm Power Handling

♦ RoHS Compliant

Applications

This high performance switch is suitable for use in multi-band ECM, radar, and instrumentation control circuits where high isolation to insertion loss ratios are required. With a standard +5V/-5V, TTL controlled PIN diode driver, 50nS switching speeds are achieved.
