Description
The HMMC-2007 is a GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit
(MMIC) designed for low insertion
loss and high isolation from DC to
8 GHz. It is intended for use as a
general-purpose, single-pole,
double-throw (SPDT), absorptive
switch. Two series and two shunt
MESFETs per throw provide
1.4␣ dB maximum insertion loss
and 38 dB typical isolation at
6␣ GHz. HMMC-2007 chips use
through-substrate vias to provide
ground connections to the chip
backside and minimize the
number of wire bonds required.

Applications
The HMMC-2007 can be used in
instrumentation, communications, radar, ECM, EW, and many
other systems requiring SPDT
switching. It can be used for
pulse modulation, port isolation,
transfer switching, high-speed
switching, replacement of
mechanical switches, and so on.
Assembly Techniques
Die attach should be done with
conductive epoxy. Gold
thermosonic bonding is recommended for all bonds. The top
and bottom metallization is gold.
For more detailed information
see HP application note #999
“GaAs MMIC Assembly and
Handling Guidelines.”
GaAs MMICs are ESD sensitive.
Proper precautions should be used
when handling these devices.
