Description
M/A-COM Technology Solutions offers a comprehensive
line of low capacitance, planar and mesa, silicon PIN
diode chips which use ceramic glass and silicon nitride
passivation technology. The Silicon PIN Chip series of
devices cover a broad spectrum of performance
requirements for control circuit applications. They are
available in several choices of I-region lengths and have
been optimally designed to minimize parametric trade offs
when considering low capacitance, low series resistance,
and high breakdown voltages. Their small size and low
parasitics, make them an ideal choice for broadband, high
frequency, micro-strip hybrid assemblies.

The attenuator line of PIN diode chips are a planar or
mesa construction and because of their thicker I-regions
and predictable R_s vs. I characteristics, they are well
suited for low distortion attenuator and switch circuits.
Incorporated in the chip’s construction is M/A-COM
Tech’s, time proven, hard glass, CERMACHIP^® . The
hard glass passivation completely encapsulates the entire
PIN junction area resulting in a hermetically sealed chip
which has been qualified in many military applications.
These CERMACHIP^® diodes are available in a wide
range of voltages, up to 3,000 volts, which are capable of
controlling kilowatts of RF power.
