GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Thirteen categories of devices are offered for flexibility in design of low, medium and high power limiters. Low VB limiters have thinner I regions for faster turnon time and better flat leakage. Microsemi also manufactures “gold doped” limiters for fastest turn on time. In addition, we manufacture high voltage dual junction limiters for superior peak and CW power handling. This series of diodes meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive 2002/95/EC. KEYFEATURES
● Available as packaged devices or as chips for hybrid applications.● Low Loss
● Suitable for applications to 18 GHz.
● Excellent flat leakage performance.
● Low 1 dB compression point.
● Gold Doped Diodes for Fast Turn On.
APPLICATIONS
A diode limiter is a power-sensitive variable attenuator that uses the non-linear properties of the diode to provide an impedance mismatch when sufficient amounts of RF power are incident on the device. The output power is reduced to a level that will not overdrive a receiver, burn out a mixer, etc.
