MADR-011020-TR1000

Overview

The MADR-011020-TR1000 is a dual-channel negative voltage PIN diode switch driver manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and utilizes a 16-PQFN (4x4) surface-mount package. The device provides complementary outputs, delivering +30mA at +5V and -1mA at -40V. Designed for high-speed switching applications, it supports AlGaAs/GaN PIN diodes with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel design providing independent control for two PIN diode switches
• Complementary output configuration supporting both positive and negative drive voltages
• Optimized interface for high-power AlGaAs PIN diode switch devices

Applications

• Control circuits for AlGaAs PIN diode RF switches
• Microwave switch matrix actuation systems
• High-speed signal routing in test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR1000 against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm reel quantity and tape specifications. Ensure the application circuit accommodates the -40V negative rail requirement. Confirm that the 16-PQFN footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Check for any recent product change notices regarding pinout or electrical characteristics updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when driving AlGaAs PIN diodes requiring negative bias voltages up to -40V. The dual-channel architecture is suitable for applications needing simultaneous control of two switch elements. Consider the 16-PQFN package size for space-constrained designs. Ensure the system power supply can provide stable 4.5V to 5.5V input with sufficient current capability for the +30mA output stage.
