Surface Mount Plastic PIN Diodes

MACOM offers silicon PIN diodes in five standard, low cost, surface mount plastic packages for use as switches and attenuators. These diodes are offered with 100% matte Sn plating. These PIN diodes feature a variety of I-region lengths resulting in lower resistance, and lower capacitance devices for various microwave control circuit applications. 

The MA4P7436, and MADP-007436 series offer the lowest series resistance for best performance as low loss series switches and high isolation shunt 

switches. 

The MA4P7433, and MADP-007433 series have the lowest capacitance and offers the highest isolation in series and series-shunt switches through 3 GHz. 

The MA4P7447, MADP-007155 series, MA4P7455, MADP-007455 series and the MADP-007448 series are general purpose PIN diodes useful as either switches or attenuators. 

The MA4P7437, MADP-007437 series and MA4P7438, MADP-007438 series device have thicker intrinsic regions to provide lower distortion in attenuator circuits. 

The MADP-007167 series devices have the thickest I-Region, offering the lowest distortion and highest IP3 for current controlled attenuator circuits. These devices are ideal for AGC functions for infrastructure and CATV applications. 

These parts are available as single diodes, series tees (ST), series tee reverse (STR), common cathode pairs (CK), and common anode pairs (CA). MACOM’s PIN diodes are available in the SOT-23 (case style 287), the SOT-323/SC-70(3L) (case style 1146), the SOD-323 (case style 1141), and the SC-79 (case style 1279) packages. These packages are supplied on tape and reel for automatic pick and place assembly. The tape and reel suffix designation is a “T” at the end of the part number.
