SMP1307 Series
Description
The SMP1307 series of plastic packaged, surface mountable, low capacitance (0.3 pF) silicon PIN diodes are designed for use in attenuator applications from 5 MHz to beyond 2 GHz. The thick 175 µm I region of these PIN diodes makes them very attractive for use in very low distortion PI and TEE attenuators commonly used in TV distribution applications. The 1.5 µS typical carrier lifetime of these diodes results in resistance of 100 Ω maximum at 1 mA and 10 Ω maximum at 10 mA.
