This switch not only maintains a high isolation loss and a low insertion loss across a wide bandwidth, but also has very low power consumption and high power handling of 29dBm or greater input P1dB at VC = 5V. These advantages, along with the small size of the chip, make the TGS2306-EPU ideal for use in high-speed radar and communication applications. Note: Devices designated as EPU are typically early in their characterization process prior to finalizing all electrical and process specifications. Specifications are subject to change without notice. 1 TriQuint Semiconductor Texas Phone: (972)994-8465 Fax: (972)994 8504 Email: info-mmw@tqs.com Web: www.triquint.com Advance Product Information November 9, 2004 TGS2306-EPU TABLE I MAXIMUM RATINGS Symbol Parameter Value Notes VC Control Voltage -7 V 1/ 2/ IC Control Current 2.25 mA 1/ 2/ PIN Input Continuous Wave Power TBD 1/ 2/ PD Power Dissipation TBD 1/ 2/ 3/ TCH TM TSTG 0 Operating Channel Temperature 150 C 4/ 0 Mounting Temperature (30 Seconds) 320 C -65 to 150 0C Storage Temperature 1/ These ratings represent the maximum operable values for this device 2/ Combinations of supply voltage, supply current, input power, and output power shall not exceed PD at a package base temperature of 70C 3/ When operated at this bias condition with a baseplate temperature of 70C, the MTTF is reduced to 1.0E+6 hours 4/ Junction operating temperature will directly affect the device median time to failure (MTTF).

This will be approximately 0.42nH. Differences in bondwire length will have an impact on switch performance. VC1 & VC2 can be applied from either side of the MMIC. DC blocks are required for the RF input and output. GaAs MMIC devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should be observed during handling, assembly and test.

(30 seconds maximum) An alloy station or conveyor furnace with reducing atmosphere should be used. No fluxes should be utilized. Coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical for long-term reliability. Devices must be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. Component placement and adhesive attachment assembly notes: * * * * * * * Vacuum pencils and/or vacuum collets are the preferred method of pick up. Air bridges must be avoided during placement. The force impact is critical during auto placement. Organic attachment can be used in low-power applications. Curing should be done in a convection oven; proper exhaust is a safety concern. Microwave or radiant curing should not be used because of differential heating. Coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical. Interconnect process assembly notes: * * * * Thermosonic ball bonding is the preferred interconnect technique. Force, time, and ultrasonics are critical parameters. Aluminum wire should not be used. Maximum stage temperature is 200C. GaAs MMIC devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should be observed during handling, assembly and test.
