Stripline PIN Diode Switch Modules

V5

MA47200 Series

Features

♦ Broadband 50 Ohm Design Through X Band

♦ High Power Handling

♦ Voltage Ratings to 1000V

♦ Fast Switching Speeds

♦ Hermetically Sealed Package

♦ RoHS Compliant

Description

These M/A-Com Technology Solutions switch modules

consist of a shunt mounted, passivated, PIN diode chip

in a hermetically sealed strip-line package. These

modules are optimized for use in a 50 ohm micro-strip

or strip-line circuit. By incorporating the appropriate

series inductance to produce a matched low pass filter

structure in a zero or reverse bias condition, no external

matching is required. To achieve high isolation, a

forward bias current between +10mA to +100mA is

applied to the center conductor which changes the

module’s inductive impedance from a high to a low-

impedance state causing the RF power to be reflected.

Applications

The M/A-COM Technology Solutions MA47200 series

modules maybe operated as a SPST reflective switch

or as an attenuator by applying the appropriate forward

or reverse DC bias. These broadband modules are

designed to operate at frequencies from VHF through X

Band. A variety of modules are available which offer a

choice of breakdown voltages and switching speeds.
