Description
Skyworks APD series of silicon PIN diodes are designed for use as
switch and attenuator devices in high-performance RF and
microwave circuits. The PIN diode designs are useful over a wide
range of frequencies from below 100 MHz to beyond 30 GHz.
These devices use Skyworks well-established silicon technology
resulting in PIN diodes with tightly controlled I-region
characteristics.
The low capacitance and low resistance of the APD0505 through
APD1520 diodes are ideal for switch applications that require
insertion loss and fast switching speed. For switch or attenuator
applications requiring high power and low distortion, the thick I-
region and high reverse breakdown voltage of the APD2220 is
ideal.
The absolute maximum ratings of the APD diode series are
provided in Table 1. Electrical specifications are provided in
Table 2. Table 3 identifies the die part numbers with their
corresponding top contact diameters and die outline drawings.
Table 4 identifies the hermetic part numbers together with their
thermal resistance specifications and hermetic outline drawings.
Typical performance characteristics are provided in Figures 1
through 8.

Note: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
