MACOM expands HMIC silicon PIN diode portfolio


The two fully monolithic SP2T and SP3T broadband switches operate between 2 and 18 GHz and offer low insertion loss, high isolation and flexible bias operation

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc. (MACOM), has released two new HMIC silicon PIN diode broadband switches for multi-market applications.

The wideband switches are designed for customers who require broadband, integrated, versatile and small switch solutions for communication, test & instrumentation, medical, scientific and military applications.

The MASW-011052 and MASW-011053 provide low insertion loss, high isolation, high power handling and low harmonic and intermodulation distortion allowing customers to achieve high performance in a small form factor. Functioning up to 26 GHz, the switch boasts an integrated bias network and MACOM's patented HMIC technology providing the customer exceptional reliability.

MACOM's HMIC 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 provides the customer with low loss and high isolation performance with exceptional repeatability. Operating over the 2 - 18 GHz bandwidth, the switches are a fully monolithic and RoHS compliant.

"The SPDT and SP3T switches operate with up to 2W of CW power and have flexible bias options which allows the customer to select an optimum back-bias for enhanced linearity," says Paul Beasly, Product Manager. "The broad frequency range, integrated bias network and excellent RF performance makes these devices attractive solutions for a very wide range of applications."

The table below outlines typical performance:



Production quantities and samples of MASW-011052 and MASW-011053 are available from stock.
