DESCRIPTION
The high power PIN diode series is available in surface mount stud
and insulated stud packages. These PIN diode chips utilize high
resistivity material and an intrinsic float zone process technology thus
ensuring low loss and low distortion characteristics through HF band.
Due to a thick base width of the ”I” layer, these diodes have very high
reverse voltage characteristics with very low thermal impedance.
These PIN chips are passivated with a proprietary high voltage
glassivation process yielding low leakage stable devices.
This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive
2002/95/EC.
APPLICATIONS
High power PIN diodes are designed as switching elements with
frequencies through UHF band. Applications for these devices include
antenna coupler, high power filter switches and Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) switches. These devices are designed to withstand
very large CW and pulse power environments where CW and peak
RF voltages are in the kilovolt range and are offered in rugged low
thermal impedance, stud and insulated stud packages.
