Description
The MADP-011027 is a lead-free 1.5 x 1.2 mm DFN
surface mount plastic packaged that provides both
low and high signal frequency operation from
50 MHz to 12 GHz. The higher breakdown voltage
and lower thermal resistance of the PIN diode
provides peak power handling in excess of 100 W.
This device is ideally suitable for usage in higher
incident power switches, phase shifters, attenuators,
and limiter microwave circuits over a broad
frequency where higher performance surface mount
diode assemblies are required.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These devices are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static
electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should
be used when handling these Class 2 devices.
5. Ct (Total Capacitance) = CJ (Junction Capacitance) + Cp (Parasitic Package Capacitance).
6. Rs and Rp are measured on an HP4291A Impedance Analyzer.
7. De-rate power dissipation linearly by -22.2 mW/ºC to 0 W @ +175ºC: Pd (T) = Pd (+25ºC) - P = Pd (+25º) - (22.2 mV/ºC) (T).
8. PD = Tj / Θ or PD=(IF + IRF) 2 (Rs), where IF is the forward bias DC current and IRF is the forward bias RMS RF current.

Devices may be soldered using standard
Pb60/Sn40, or RoHS compliant solders. Leads
are plated NiPdAuAg to ensure an optimum
solderable connection.
For recommended Sn/Pb and RoHS soldering
profile See Application Note M538 on the MACOM
website.
Assembly Recommendations
Cleanliness and Storage
These devices should be handled and stored in a
clean environment. Ends of the device are
NiPdAuAg plated for greater solderability. Exposure
to high humidity (>80%) for extended periods may
cause the surface to oxidize. Caution should be
taken when storing devices for long periods.
General Handling
Device can be handled with tweezers or vacuum
pickups and are suitable for use with automatic
pick-and-place equipment.
