Low Distortion Attenuator
Plastic Packaged PIN Diodes
Features
■ Low Distortion Design
■ Frequency Range from HF to > 2 GHz
■ Designed for Base Station Applications
■ Configured for PI and TEE Attenuators
Description
The SMP1304 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 100 µm I region of these PIN
diodes makes them very attractive f or use in low distortion
PI and TEE attenuators commonly used in TV distribution
applications. The 1 µS typical carrier lifetime of these
diodes results in resistance of 20 Ω maximum at 1 mA and
7 Ωmaximum at 10 mA.A vailab le in a selection of plastic
packages: as a single diode in the small footprint
SOD-323 package and in a variety of configurations in the
SOT-23 package, including a low inductance (0.4 nH)
SMP1304-007 package. Also available in the SOT-143
package are three diode junctions designed for insertion
in TEE attenuators (SMP1304-018) and PI attenuators
(SMP1304-019).Also availab le in a SO T-5 (SMP1304-027)
package as a four diode arra y designed f or insertion in the
commonly used 4 diode PI attenuator circuit.
