Description
The MA4SW510 is a SP5T, series-shunt, broadband, PIN diode switch made with M/A-COM Tech’s patented HMICTM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process. This process allows the silicon pedestals which form the series - shunt diodes and vias to be embedded into low loss, low dispersion glass. By also incorporating small spacing between circuit elements, the result is an HMIC chip with low insertion loss and high isolation at frequencies up to 26.5GHz. It is designed to be used as a moderate power, high performance switch and provide superior performance when compared to similar designs that use discrete components.
