Description
The MADR-010574 switch driver is designed to work
with M/A-COM Technology Solutions high power
and high voltage PIN diodes. This driver consists of
two independently controlled drivers which are able
to provide 200 mA series / 50 mA shunt current to a
series/shunt, series/shunt SPDT PIN diode switch.
The back bias voltage is configurable from 20 V to
250 V. High voltage level shifters are integrated so
that it can be easily controlled by 3 V or 5 V CMOS
logic. While consuming low quiescent current, this
driver has a typical delay of less than 8 µs when
driving 220 pF capacitor load. If needed, the
switching speed can be improved by consuming
more quiescent power.
This driver is packaged in a lead free 7 mm PQFN-
16LD package and is available in tape and reel
packaging for high volume applications.

3. Unused Controls should be either grounded or connected to VCC. They should never be left open.
4. Refer to “Application Circuit: Driving SPDT Switch with MA4P504-1072T Pin Diodes” for configuration of diode bias currents.
5. This sinking bias current is necessary for normal driver operation. The easiest way is to connect a 0402 resistor RBIAS between Pin VCC and
Pin IBIAS. Then IBIAS can be calculated by: IBIAS = (VCC-0.6)/(500+RBIAS)
6. Refer to graph “Typ. Ton Driving 220 pF Caps vs. IBIAS” on page 3 and the chart “Typ. IDD vs. IBIAS at 25°C” on page 4 for the tradeoff
between switching speed and power consumption.

Powering On/Off Sequence:
VDD should be turned on after VCC, and the rise
time of VDD should be slower than 2.5 µs. When
powering off, VDD should be turned off before VCC.

10. The parameters were measured with 500 k RBIAS connecting between pin VCC and pin IBIAS.
11. IBIAS is included in the quiescent VCC current due to the bias configuration.
12. Switching parameters were measured driving 220 pF capacitors with no current load. Controls C1 and C2 were tied together. It will be
faster when C2 is inverted from C1, which is case driving a SPDT switch.
