Description

The MASW-011036 is a high power SPDT with 50 Ω

terminated RF ports. This broadband, high linearity,

SPDT

switch

was

developed

for

Ka–Band

applications that require up to 13 Watts CW power

handling at an environmental temperature of +85°C

while maintaining low insertion loss and high

isolation.

The SPDT MMIC utilizes MACOM’s proven AlGaAs

PIN diode technology. The 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 anode

air-bridge during handling and assembly. The die

has backside metallization to facilitate an epoxy die

attach process.

Pin Configuration:

(Back Metal is RF, DC, and Thermal Ground)
