Features Broad Bandwidth Specified up to 18 GHz Usable up to 26 GHz Integrated Bias Network Low Insertion Loss / High Isolation Rugged Fully Monolithic Glass Encapsulate Construction RoHS Compliant* and 26 C Reflow Compatible Description The MASW-212-1358 and devices are SP2T and SP3T broad band switches with integrated bias networks utilizing M/A-COM Technology Solutions HMIC TM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process, US Patent 5,268,31. This process allows the incorporation 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 silicon and glass gives HMIC devices low loss and high isolation performance with exceptional repeatability through low millimeter frequencies. Large bond pads facilitate the use low inductance ribbon bonds, while gold backside metallization allows for manual or automatic chip bonding via 8/2 - Au/Sn, 62/36/2 - Sn/Pb/Ag solders or electrically conductive silver epoxy.

Operation the MASW-212-1358 and Operation the MASW-212-1358 and PIN diode switches is achieved by simultaneous application DC currents to the bias pads. The required levels for the different states are shown in the tables below. The on-chip pull-up resistor @ J1, shown in the schematic below, has a value 4Ω - 6Ω and must be taken into consideration when defining drive circuitry.

Wire/Ribbon and Die Attachment Recommendations Wire Bonding Thermosonic wedge wire bonding using.25 x.3 ribbon or.1 diameter gold wire is recommended. A heat stage temperature 15 o C and a force 18 to 22 grams should be used. Ultrasonic energy should be adjusted to the minimum required to achieve a good bond. RF bond wires should be kept as short and straight as possible. Chip Mounting The HMIC switches have Ti-Pt-Au back metal. They can be die mounted with a gold-tin eutectic solder preform or conductive epoxy. Mounting surface must be clean and flat. *Note: This device utilizes a process step designed to have minimal to non-existent burring around the perimeter the die. Eutectic Die Attachment: An 8/2, gold-tin, eutectic solder preform is recommended with a work surface temperature 255 o C and a tool tip temperature 265 o C. When hot gas is applied, the tool tip temperature should be 29 o C. The chip should not be exposed to temperatures greater than 32 o C for more than 2 seconds. No more than three seconds should be required for attachment. Solders containing tin should not be used. Epoxy Die Attachment: A minimum amount epoxy should be used. A thin epoxy fillet should be visible around the perimeter the chip after placement. Cure epoxy per manufacturer s schedule (typically 125-15 o C).
