MP61003

GaAs PIN DIODES TM ® MP61001 – MP61012 Packaged and Bondable Chips Features ● ● ● ● ● ● Low Series Resistance Fast Switching Speed Low Capacitance No Reverse Bias Required Available in Packages and Bondable Chips Available as Chip-on-Board Components Applications ● ● ● Switches Attenuators Phase Shifters Description Microsemi’s GaAs PIN diodes are fabricated utilizing a gold contact mesa and protected with silicon nitride. The diodes have short carrier lifetime for fast switching speed and low series resistance. GaAs P00 diodes are available as bondable chips, chip-on-board components and in a variety of packages. GaAs PIN diodes, in comparison to Si PIN diodes, reach its high impedance state at zero bias and do not require reverse bias for low loss. Nanosecond switching speed is achieved with GaAs PIN diodes, using low-cost TTL drivers.
