Description

The TriQuint TGS2304-SCC is a GaAs monolithic PIN-diode single-pole, four-throw
switch, in chip form, that operates from DC to 20 GHz. Each arm consists of one
series and two shunt PIN diodes. At a bias current of 10 mA per RF output arm,
typical midband insertion loss is 0.6 dB; midband return loss is approximately 20
dB. Typical isolation at 10 mA bias is 40 dB. Insertion loss and isolation can be
adjusted by varying the switch arm bias currents.

Using a GaAs vertical PIN diode process, TriQuint has produced switches with high
power handling capability, low on-state resistance, and low off-state capacitance.
The higher cutoff frequency of the PIN diode element makes this switch ideal for
broadband electronic components and communication systems wherein the MMIC
construction offers reduced size, cost, and assembly time. Bond pad and backside
metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic alloy attach methods as
well as thermocompression and thermosonic wire-bonding processes.
