Description

Alpha's high isolation, single pole, double throw PIN diode switch is a robust, high performance switch. It is ideal for low loss, high isolation applications, particularly where high power handling is required. AP640R6-00 uses Alpha's proven PIN diode technology, and is based upon MBE layers for the highest uniformity and repeatability.The diodes employ surface passivation to ensure a rugged, reliable part with through-substrate via holes and gold-based backside metallization to facilitate an epoxy die attach process.The GaAs MMIC AP640R6-00 employs two shunt PIN diodes in each arm and an on-chip bias network. Chips are measured on a 100% basis at 24, 28, and 30 GHz for insertion loss, isolation, input and output return losses, and also at DC for diode breakdown voltage and turn on voltage.
