3. Pins 2 and 5 are not connected internally and should not be
used for grounding. Package has exposed bottom metal pad-
dle (Pin 7) which should be connected to the circuit ground.
The parasitic inductance introduced by this connection should
be as small as possible.

Description
The MACP-010573 belongs to a series of small,
easy-to-use, broadband, directional detectors. With
integrated low loss directional couplers and built-in
temperature compensation circuits, these detectors
provide an easy way to monitor the power of a signal
travelling in a specific direction along a transmission
line. Detectors are housed in a miniature, surface
mount, lead less plastic package. They require a
small amount of bias for proper performance. The
total bias current is less than 0.5 mA.
Typical applications include power monitoring and
leveling in Point-to-Point radios, IMS, Radar, VSAT,
EW, and Aerospace & Defense systems.
The surface mount package is small yet can be
handled and placed with standard pick and place
assembly equipment. Detectors are fabricated on a
well established GaAs process featuring full
passivation for performance and reliability.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits 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 0A
devices.

Recommended PCB Configuration
Application Information
The MACP-010573 is designed to deliver high
performance and to be easy to use.
No external components are needed. The RF
connections required by the MACP-010573 are
shown in a schematic below.
Pin 1 should be connected to the RF input signal.
Pin 6 is the RF output. The third required connection
is that to the RF ground. The exposed metal paddle
on the back of the package must be connected to
the RF ground of the board housing the detector.
This can be accomplished by using conductive via
holes. It is important to ensure that the parasitic
inductance associated with the connection between
the detector and the RF ground is as small as
possible. The RF ground also provides the return
path for the DC bias current.
DC Bias
The MACP-010573 operates with a positive 3.2 V
bias applied to pin 3. The output voltage is available
on pin 4.
Evaluation Board
MACOM will supply an evaluation board and loose
samples upon qualified request. The kit consists of a
PCB and SMA connectors. MACOM suggests a
Rogers 4350 dielectric of 0.008” (0.20 mm) with ½
ounce copper. Proper grounding is always
important, we suggest 8 mil (0.20 mm) vias placed
generously underneath the part.
