General Description
Bond Pad Configuration
The TriQuint TGS2351 is a Single-Pole, Double-Throw
(SPDT) Switch. The TGS2351 operates from DC to 6
GHz and is designed using TriQuint’s 0.25um GaN on
SiC production process.
The TGS2351 typically provides up to 40 W input power
handling at control voltages of 0/-40 V. This switch
maintains low insertion loss < 0.8 dB, and high isolation
-40 dB typical.
The TGS2351 is ideally suited for High Power
Switching application.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant
Evaluation Boards are available upon request.

Vc1 can be biased from either bond pad 3 or 6, and the non-biased bond pad can be left open.
Vc2 can be biased from either bond pad 2 or 7, and the non-biased bond pad can be left open.
This switch can be configured as a Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) by terminating one unused
RF Out port with a 50 Ohm load.
Bias-up Procedure
Bias-down Procedure
Vc1 or Vc2 set to -40 V (see Function Table below for RF Path)
Turn off RF supply
Vc2 or Vc1 set to 0 V (see Function Table below for RF Path)
Turn Vc1 to 0V
Apply RF signal to RF Input
Turn Vc2 to 0 V

Assembly Notes
Component placement and adhesive attachment assembly notes:
Vacuum pencils and/or vacuum collets are the preferred method of pick up.
Air bridges must be avoided during placement.
The force impact is critical during auto placement.
Organic attachment (i.e. epoxy) can be used in low-power applications.
Curing should be done in a convection oven; proper exhaust is a safety concern.
Reflow process assembly notes:
Use AuSn (80/20) solder and limit exposure to temperatures above 300C to 3-4 minutes, maximum.
An alloy station or conveyor furnace with reducing atmosphere should be used.
Do not use any kind of flux.
Coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical for long-term reliability.
Devices must be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
Interconnect process assembly notes:
Thermosonic ball bonding is the preferred interconnect technique.
Force, time, and ultrasonics are critical parameters.
Aluminum wire should not be used.
Devices with small pad sizes should be bonded with 0.0007-inch wire.
