Operation of the MA4SW424B-1

Operation of the MA4SW424B-1 series PIN diode switch is achieved by the application of a D.C. current (12mA)

to the bias port of the selected insertion loss port and 0V bias for the isolated ports. The control currents should

be supplied by constant current sources.

Note 1: Switching speed is measured from 10% to 90% of detected RF signal driven by TTL compatible drivers using an RC

spiking network where R = 50 - 200Ω, and C = 390 - 560pF.
