Description
Skyworks CLA series of silicon limiter diodes provides passive
receiver protection over a wide range of frequencies from
100 MHz to over 30 GHz. These devices use Skyworks well-
established silicon technology resulting in high resistivity and
tightly controlled base width PIN limiter diodes. Limiter circuits
using these devices perform with strong limiting action and low
loss.
The CLA series consists of nine individual chip designs of different
intrinsic region base widths and capacitances designed to
accommodate multi-stage limiter applications. The mesa-
constructed, thin base width, low capacitance CLA4601-000,
CLA4602-000, CLA4604-000, and CLA4605-000 are designed for
low-level and cleanup applications. The CLA4603-000 and
CLA4606-000 through CLA4608-000 are planar designs
designated for high-power and mid-range applications.
The CLA4609-000 thick base width mesa diode is designed for
coarse limiter-stage applications.
The absolute maximum ratings of the CLA diode series are
provided in Table 1. Electrical specifications are specified in
Table 2. Typical performance characteristics are provided in
Table 3 and Figures 1 through 5. Table 4 identifies the die part
numbers with their corresponding top contact diameters and die
outline drawings. Table 5 identifies the hermetic part numbers
together with their thermal resistance specifications and hermetic
outline drawings.
