MA4AGBL912 AlGaAs Beamlead PIN Diode Rev. V5 Features  Low Series Resistance Topside  Low Capacitance  5 Nanosecond Switching Speed  Can be Driven by a Buffered +5V TTL  Silicon Nitride Passivation  Polyimide Scratch Protection  RoHS Compliant Description M/A-COM Technology Solutions MA4AGBLP912 is an Aluminum-Gallium-Arsenide anode enhanced, Bottom beam lead PIN diode. AlGaAs anodes, which utilize M/A-COM Tech’s patented hetero-junction technology, produce less diode “On” resistance than conventional GaAs or silicon devices. This device is fabricated in a OMCVD system using a process optimized for high device uniformity and extremely low parasitics. The result is a diode with low series resistance, 4Ω, low capacitance, 28fF, and an extremely fast switching speed of 5nS. It is fully Absolute Maximum Ratings @ TAMB = 25°C passivated with silicon nitride and has an additional (unless otherwise specified) polymer coating for scratch protection. The protective coating prevents damage to the junction Parameter Absolute Maximum and the anode air bridges during handling and as- sembly. Reverse Voltage -50V Applications Operating Temperature -65°C to +125°C The ultra low capacitance of the MA4AGBLP912 Storage Temperature -65°C to +150°C device makes it ideally suited for use up to 40GHz when used in a shunt configuration. The low RC product and low profile of the beamlead PIN diode Junction Temperature +175°C allows for use in microwave switch designs, where low insertion loss and high isolation are required. Forward DC Current 40mA The operating bias conditions of +10mA for the low loss state, and 0V, for the isolation state permits the C.W. Incident Power +23dBm use of a simple +5V TTL gate driver. AlGaAs, beamlead diodes, can be used in switching arrays Mounting Temperature +235°C for 10 seconds on radar systems, high speed ECM circuits, optical switching networks, instrumentation, and other wideband multi-throw switch assemblies. 111 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.

MA4AGBL912 AlGaAs Beamlead PIN Diode Rev. V5 Handling and Assembly Procedures The following precautions should be observed to avoid damaging these devices. Cleanliness These devices should be handled in a clean environment. Static Sensitivity Aluminum Gallium Arsenide PIN diodes are Class 0, HBM, ESD sensitive and can be damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD techniques should be used when handling these devices. General Handling These devices have a polymer layer which provides scratch protection for the junction area and the anode air bridge. Beam lead devices must, however, be handled with extreme care since the leads may easily be distorted or broken by the normal pressures exerted when handled with tweezers. A vacuum pencil with a #27 tip is recommended for picking and placing. Attachment These devices were designed to be inserted onto hard or soft substrates. Recommended methods of attachment include thermo-compression bonding, parallel-gap welding and electrically conductive silver epoxy.
