The MP001D is highly integrated transmit/receive (T/R) 3-port core chip which consists of integrated T/R switches, a 6-bit phase shifter, a 5-bit attenuator and four driver amplifiers. It covers the frequency range 8 to 11.5 GHz and can be used in Telecommunication and Radar applications. The on-chip digital control logic allows for parallel data input so that the phase shifter and attenuator may be changed instantaneously. This chip is manufactured using 0.18 μm gate length pHEMT process. The MMIC uses gold bond pads and backside metallization and is fully protected with Silicon Nitride passivation to obtain the highest level of reliability.

Part Number Package Type Version DescriptionMP001D Bare Die 02 X-band Core Chip
wire bonding A recommendation for RF pads (1, 2 and 29) is two wires: diameter 25 µm, length 450 µm. A recommendation for DC and control pads (3 to 8, 10 to 24, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 31) is one wire: diameter 25 µm, length 700-1000 µm.
Supply and Bias of Amplifiers The core chip can be operated in either Transmit (TX) or Receive (RX) mode. The bias setup is different for each.
The TX mode is activated by setting the RX/TX switch (pad #24, SW) to logic high (+3.3V). In this mode, pad #5 (VD3) to drain bias for the output amplifier (TX AMP) must be set to +5V. Additionally, the input amplifier (RX AMP) is not operational in TX mode, so pad #26 (VD1) must be set to 0V.
To select the RX mode of operation the RX/TX switch, pad #24 (SW) is set to logic low (0V). In this mode, pad #26 (VD1) to drain bias for the input amplifier (RX AMP) must be set to +5V. In the RX mode the output amplifier (TX AMP) is not used and pad #5 (VD3) must be set to 0V.
Both the gate bias circuitry (VG1, VG2, VG3) and the common path amplifiers (VD2) must be biased at -5V and +5V respec-tively in both TX and RX operation.
caution! Make sure the supply voltages are properly sequenced to ensure negative gate bias (VG1, VG2, and VG3) is avail-able before applying the positive drain bias (VD1, VD2, and VD3).
bias arrangement Each DC bias pad (VD1, VD2, VD3 and VG1, VG2, VG3) need to have DC bypass capacitance of 100 pF as close to the device as possible.
attenuator and Phase shifter control bias Digital control logic is integrated in the device to supply the necessary internal switching voltages for the RX/TX switch, atten-uator and phase shifter. The reference state of the core chip is enabled with logic low (0V) on control pads of the attenuator (12 to 16) and phase shifter (18 to 23). The binary weighted amplitude and phase states are switched by applying logic high on the respective control pad. Control tables for the attenuator and phase shifter are presented below.
recommended esD Management This device is susceptible to electrostatic and mechanical damage. Dice are supplied in antistatic contain-ers, which should be opened in cleanroom conditions at an appropriately grounded antistatic worksta-tion. Devices need careful handling using correctly designed collets, vacuum pickups or, with care, sharp tweezers.

wire bonding A recommendation for RF pads (1 and 2) is one wire: diameter 25 µm, length 450 µm. A recommendation for DC and control pads (3 to 10) is one wire: diameter 25 µm, length 700-1000 µm.
bias arrangement The pad #7 (VSS) needs to have DC bypass capacitance of 100 pF as close to the device as possible.
attenuator control bias Digital control logic is integrated in the device to supply the necessary internal switching voltages for the attenuator’s cells. The reference state is enabled with logic low (0V) on control pads of the attenuator (4 to 6 and 8 to 10). The binary weight-ed attenuation states are switched by applying logic high on the respective control pad. A control table for the attenuator is presented below.
recommended esD Management This device is susceptible to electrostatic and mechanical damage. Dice are supplied in antistatic contain-ers, which should be opened in cleanroom conditions at an appropriately grounded antistatic worksta-tion. Devices need careful handling using correctly designed collets, vacuum pickups or, with care, sharp tweezers.

Devices need careful handling using correctly designed collets, vacuum pickups or, with care, sharp tweezers.
wire bonding A recommendation for RF pads (12 and 13) is one wire: diameter 25 µm, length 450 µm. A recommendation for DC and con-trol pads (4 to 11) is one wire: diameter 25 µm, length 700-1000 µm.
bias arrangement The pad #7 (VSS) needs to have DC bypass capacitance of 100 pF as close to the device as possible.
Phase shifter control bias Digital control logic is integrated in the device to supply the necessary internal switching voltages for the phase shifter’s cells. The reference state is enabled with logic low (0V) on control pads of the phase shifter (4 to 6 and 8 to 10). The binary weighted phase states are switched by applying logic high on the respective control pad. Control table for the phase shifter is presented above.

MD605GaAs MMIC fundamental mixer, 2.5 – 9.0 GHz
Main features
General DescriPtion
• Wide RF Bandwidth 2.5-9.0 GHz• Low Conversion Loss: 10.0 dB• Passive Double Balanced Topology• 10.0 dBm Input Power (P1dB)• 100% On-Wafer RF Tested
The MD605 is a passive double balanced mixer that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 2.5 and 9.0 GHz The miniature monolithic mixer is fabricated in a GaAs QZBD process, and requires no external components or matching cir-cuitry. It is ideally suited for applications where small size, no DC bias, and consistent IC performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of +10 to +15 dBm. The MMICs use gold bond pads and backside metalli-zation and are fully protected with Silicon Nitride passivation to obtain the highest level of reliability.

MD611GaAs MMIC I/Q mixer, 11.0 – 17.5 GHz
Main features
General DescriPtion
• Wide RF Bandwidth 11.0-17.5 GHz• Low Conversion Loss: 13.0 dB at each IF port• Passive I/Q Mixer Topology• 14.0 dBm Input Power (P1dB) at each IF port• 100% On-Wafer RF Tested
The MD611 is a I/Q mixer that can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single Sideband Upconverter between 11.0 and 17.5 GHz. The miniature monolithic mixer is fabricated in a GaAs QZBD process, and requires no external components or matching circuitry. It is ideally suited for applications where small size, no DC bias, and consistent IC performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of +13 to +18 dBm. The chip utilizes two standard double balanced mixer cells and 90-degree hybrid. The MMICs use gold bond pads and backside metallization and are fully protected with Silicon Nitride passivation to obtain the highest level of reliability.
