CONTROL DEVICES – BEAMLEAD PIN DIODES
RoHS Compliant
DESCRIPTION
Semiconductor mesa beam lead PIN diodes are designed for very low inductance,
low resistance and moderately low capacitance with ultra fast switching
characteristics. The structural details include thermal oxide junction passivation thus
providing reliable operation with stable junction parameters along with ceramic
glass, which provides mechanical strength to the diode. These devices are designed
with a narrow base width, a high quality intrinsic ‘I’ layer that provides low loss, high
isolation and ultra high speed switching characteristics.
This series of diodes meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive 2002/95/EC.
The standard terminal finish is gold unless otherwise specified. Consult the
factory if you have special requirements.
APPLICATIONS
These high speed beam lead PIN diodes are designed for stripline and microstrip
circuits and are primarily used in shunt/series and conventional series multithrow
configurations as switching, attenuating and phase shifting elements with
frequencies extending up to Ku band.
