General Description
The HMC322 is a broadband non-refl ective
GaAs MESFET SP8T switch chip. Covering DC
to 10.0 GHz, this switch offers high isolation and
low insertion loss and extends the frequency
coverage of Hittite’s SP8T switch product line.
This switch also includes an on board binary
decoder circuit which reduces the required logic
control lines to three. The switch operates using
a negative control voltage of 0/-5V, and requires
a fi xed bias of -5V. All data is tested with the chip
in a 50 Ohm test fi xture connected via 0.025 mm
(1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.5 mm (20 mils)
length.

Handling Precautions
Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage.
Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems.
Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against > ± 250V ESD strikes.
Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize
inductive pick-up.
General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the
chip has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fi ngers.
Mounting
The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting surface should be clean and
fl at.
Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fi llet is observed around the
perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule.
Wire Bonding
Ball or wedge bond with 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of
150 deg. C and a ball bonding f orce of 40 to 50 g rams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum
level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package or
substrate. All bonds should be as short as possible <0.31mm (12 mils).
