The MASW-011087-DIE from MACOM is an AlGaAs SP4T Reflective PIN Diode Switch that operates from 14 to 38 GHz. It has a low insertion loss of 0.9 dB, provides high isolation of 25 dB, and has a fast switching speed of less than 34 ns. This RoHS-compliant switch is available as a die with G-S-G RF Pads and DC Bias Pads and the die has backside metallization to facilitate an epoxy die attach process. It is ideal for switching arrays of radars systems, radiometers, test equipment, Point-to-Point communications systems, and other high-frequency applications.
This switch is fully passivated with silicon nitride and has an added polymer layer for scratch protection. The protective coating prevents damage to the junction and the air-bridges during handling and assembly.
