pedestal, and air-bridges connect the diode to the
beam-leads. The topside is fully encapsulated with
silicon nitride and also has an additional polymer
layer for scratch and impact protection. These
protective coatings prevent damage to the diode
junction and air-bridge during handling and
assembly. The diodes exhibit low series resistance,
low capacitance, and extremely fast switching speed.

Applications
The ultra low capacitance, low RC product and low
profile of the MA4PBL027 makes it an ideal choice
for use in microwave and millimeter wave switch
designs, where low insertion loss and high isolation
are required. The low bias levels of 10 mA in the low
loss state and 0 V in the isolation state allows the
use of a simple 5 V TTL gate driver. These diodes
can be used as switching arrays on radar systems,
high speed ECM circuits, optical switching networks,
instrumentation, and other wideband multi-throw
switch assemblies.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these HBM class 1
devices.
General Handling
30 dBm CW
150 mW
235°C for 10 sec.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
A polymer layer provides scratch protection for the
diode junction area and anode air bridge.
However, the leads of beam lead devices are very
fragile and must be handled with extreme care. The
leads can easily be distorted or broken by the
normal pressures if not careful while handling with
tweezers. A vacuum pencil with a #27 tip is the
preferred choice for picking and placing.
Attachment
These devices were designed to be inserted onto
hard or soft substrates. Recommended methods of
attachment include thermo-compression bonding,
parallel-gap welding and electrically conductive
silver epoxy.
