Description
M/A-COM Technology Solutions manufactures a series of
silicon PIN limiter diodes with small and medium I-region
lengths which are specifically designed for high signal
applications. The devices are designed to provide low
insertion loss, at zero bias, as well as low flat leakage
power with fast signal response/recovery times. Parts are
available as discrete die or assembled into a variety of
surface mount or ceramic pill packages. See the Available
Case Style table on page 6 for the specific ceramic
package styles and their availability for individual part
numbers.
Applications
The MA4L and MADL-0110 Series of PIN limiter diodes
are designed for use in passive limiter control circuits to
protect sensitive receiver components such as low noise
amplifiers (LNA), detectors, and mixers covering the
10 MHz to 18 GHz frequency range.
