GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This series of surface mount PIN and Limiter diodes
utilize new and unique monolithic MMSM technology. The
technology is a package/device integration accomplished
at the wafer fabrication level. Since the cathode and
anode interconnections utilize precision photolithographic
techniques rather than wire bonds, parasitic package
inductance is tightly controlled. The package parasitics
provide smooth non-resonant functionality through X
Band. This series of devices meets RoHS requirements
per EU Directive 2002/95/EC.

APPLICATIONS
The MPP4200 series of PIN diodes can be used in RF
circuits as an on/off element, as a switch, or as a current
controlled resistor in attenuators extending over the
frequency range from UHF through X band. Switch
applications include high speed switches (ECM
systems), TR switches channel or antenna selection
switches (Telcom and WLAN applications), duplexers
(radar) and digital phase shifters (phased arrays). These
diodes are also used as passive and active limiters for
low to moderate RF power levels. Attenuator type
applications include amplitude modulators, AGC
attenuators and power levelers.
