Description
The 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 the well-established
Skyworks 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 eleven 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, CLA4605-000, and CLA4611-000
are designed for low-level and cleanup applications. The
CLA4603-000, CLA4606-000 through CLA4608-000, and
CLA4610-000 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.
