SMP1307 Series: Very Low Distortion Attenuator Plastic Packaged PIN Diodes
Applications
• Very low distortion PI and TEE attenuators • Cable TV AGC • High-volume wireless systems
Features
• Low distortion design • Frequency range from 5 MHz to > 2 GHz • Packages rated MSL1 @ 260 °C per JEDEC J-STD-020
Description
The SMP1307 series of plastic packaged, surface mountable, low capacitance (0.3 pF) silicon PIN diodes is designed for attenuator applications from 5 MHz to beyond 2 GHz.
The thick 175 μm I region width of these PIN diodes makes them very attractive for use in very low distortion PI and TEE attenuators commonly found in TV distribution applications. The 1.5 μs carrier lifetime of these diodes results in resistance of 100 Ω maximum at 1 mA and 10 Ω maximum at 10 mA.
