Quad Capacitance
Capacitance of Schottky diode quads is measured using
an HP4271 LCR meter. This instrument effectively isolates
individual diode branches from the others, allowing
accurate capacitance measurement of each branch or
each diode. The conditions are: 20 mV R.M.S. voltage at 1
MHz. Avago defines this measurement as “CM”, and it is
equivalent to the capacitance of the diode by itself. The
equivalent diagonal and adjacent capacitances can then
be calculated by the formulas given below.
In a quad, the diagonal capacitance is the capacitance
between points A and B as shown in the figure below.
The diagonal capacitance is calculated using the follow-
ing formula
CDIAGONAL = __C_1_x__C_2 + ___C_3_x_C_4
C1 + C2 C3 + C4

The equivalent adjacent capacitance is the capacitance
between points A and C in the figure below. This capaci-
tance is calculated using the following formula
CADJACENT = C1 + _______1_____
