Description

The MAPS-010145 is a GaAs pHEMT 4-bit digital

phase shifter with an integrated CMOS driver in a

4 mm PQFN plastic surface mount package. Step

size is 22.5° providing phase shift from 0° to 360° in

22.5° steps. This design has been optimized to

minimize variation in attenuation over the phase shift

range.

The MAPS-010145 is ideally suited for use where

high phase accuracy with minimum loss variation

over the phase shift range are required. The 4 mm

PQFN package provides a smaller footprint than is

typically available for a digital phase shifter with an

internal driver. Typical applications include

communications antennas and phased array radars.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide and Silicon 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.

P/S LE Mode

1 X Serial

0 N/A Direct Parallel

Serial Mode

Direct Parallel Mode

The serial control interface (SERIN, CLK, LE,

SEROUT) is compatible with the SPI protocol. SPI

mode is activated when P/S is kept high. The 6-bit

serial word must be loaded with the MSB first. After

shifting in the 6 bit word, a rising edge on LE will set

the phase shifter to the desired state. While LE is

high the CLK is masked to protect the data while

implementing the change. SEROUT is SERIN

delayed by 6 clock cycles.

When P/S is low, the serial control interface is

disabled. When P/S is set high, Pins 22, 23, and 24

have the LE, CLK, and SER IN function.

In serial mode operation, the outputs will stay

constant while LE is kept low.

The parallel mode is enabled when P/S is set low. In

the direct parallel mode, the phase shifter is

controlled by the parallel control inputs directly.

When P/S is set low, Pins 22, 23, and 24 have the

D3, D2, and D1 function.

8. There are two dummy bits (D1 & D2), that must be sent in the

serial mode. This is because the 4 bit phase shifter uses the

same driver as the 6 bit phase shifter.

9. In the parallel mode, D1 and D2 should be tied to ground or to

VCC.
