MA4SW510

The MA4SW510 is a Silicon SP5T PIN Diode Switch manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It utilizes MACOM's patented HMIC™ process, embedding silicon pedestals into low-loss glass for enhanced performance. This switch is specified from 50 MHz to 20.0 GHz and is usable up to 26.5 GHz, offering lower insertion loss and higher isolation compared to discrete component designs.

Key electrical specifications include a typical insertion loss of 0.9 dB at 20 GHz and a typical isolation of 38 dB at 20 GHz. The input return loss is typically 22 dB, and the output return loss is typically 23 dB at 20 GHz. It can handle up to +30 dBm CW power at +25°C and features a switching speed of 50 ns at 10 GHz. The operating temperature range is -65°C to +125°C.

Designed for moderate power, high-performance applications, the MA4SW510 is suitable for multi-band ECM, radar, and instrumentation control circuits. It is available in a Waffle Pack package. The chip is protected by a polymer coating and features large gold bond pads for easy connection. Gold metallization on the backside facilitates attachment via solder or conductive epoxy.
