CONTROL DEVICES – MMSM PIN and Limiter Diodes
RoHS Compliant
DESCRIPTION
This series of surface mount PIN and Limiter diodes utilize new and unique
monolithic MMSM technology. The technology is a package/device
integration accomplished at the wafer fabrication level. Since the cathode
and anode interconnections utilize precision photolithographic techniques
rather than wire bonds, parasitic package inductance is tightly controlled.
The package parasitics provide smooth non-resonant functionality through
X Band. This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive
2002/95/EC.
APPLICATIONS
The MPP4000 series of PIN diodes can be used in RF circuits as an on/off
element, as a switch, or as a current controlled resistor in attenuators
extending over the frequency range from UHF through X band. Switch
applications include high speed switches (ECM systems), TR switches
channel or antenna selection switches (Telcom and WLAN applications),
duplexers (radar) and digital phase shifters (phased arrays). These diodes
are also used as passive and active limiters for low to moderate RF power
levels. Attenuator type applications include amplitude modulators, AGC
attenuators and power levelers.
The MPL4700 / MPL4701 series of Limiter diodes are design for low to
medium power receiver protection. The typical leakage output power for the
MPL4701 is +20 dbm versus +24 dbm for the MPL4700.
