Description
The MACP-010563 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.

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

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
devices.

Recommended PCB Configuration Application Information
The MACP-010563 is designed to deliver high
performance and to be easy to use.
No external components are needed. The RF
connections required by the MACP-010563 are
shown in a schematic below.
Pin 1 should be connected to the RF line bringing
the 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-010563 operates with a positive 3.2 V
bias applied to Pin 3. The output voltage is available
on Pin 4.
Evaluation Board
MA-COM Technology Solutions’ will supply an
evaluation board and loose samples upon qualified
request. The kit consists of a PCB and SMA
connectors. MA-COM Technology Solutions’
suggests a Rogers 4350 dielectric of .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.
