MADR-011020

Overview

The MADR-011020 is a negative voltage switch driver designed for AlGaAs PIN diode switches. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device delivers ±50 mA of output current and supports reverse bias voltages between -20 V and -50 V. It features complementary outputs and is housed in a 16-PQFN (4x4) package.

Feature Summary

• Provides complementary outputs for driving PIN diodes
• Delivers high output current capability at standard logic levels
• Supports negative bias voltages up to -50 V

Applications

• Driving MACOM AlGaAs PIN diode switches
• Driving MACOM HMIC PIN diode switches
• Low-power ISM band applications with moderate-gain PA stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix, such as -TR1000 for tape and reel packaging, against your manufacturing requirements. Confirm that the 16-PQFN footprint matches your PCB design. Ensure the supply voltage range aligns with your system's power rails before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when integrating MACOM AlGaAs or HMIC PIN diodes to simplify PCB layout and reduce discrete component count. It is suitable for applications requiring fast switching speeds and negative bias generation from a single low-voltage supply.

Part Context

This driver is part of MACOM's optimized negative voltage driver family, introduced alongside the MADR-011022. These devices are engineered to seamlessly integrate with MACOM's portfolio of high-performance PIN diode switches, offering improved ease of use compared to discrete driving solutions.

Replacement Considerations

The MADR-011022 is a related model within the same product family. Verify if the alternative model meets the specific voltage or channel requirements of your design before substitution.
