Broadband shunt family offers space savings for high-power switching applications
The MACOM Shunt PIN Diode series is designed for customers who need a versatile, low cost, ultra-small Shunt PIN diode element for land mobile radio, wireless infrastructure and test instrument applications. Unlike the competition, MACOM’s small, 1.5 X 1.2 mm plastic package reduces board space while enabling broadband performance comparable to chip-scale devices. Typical applications include high power switching through 6 GHz with incident power up to 100 W. Boasting excellent performance, low cost and easy implementation, the Shunt PIN Diode series offers a winning combination for customers looking for high-power diode solutions.
The 3 terminal, low-pass filter structure inherent in MACOM’s devices claim to provide superior low- and high signal performance compared to 2 terminal PIN diode devices, making this series ideal for high-power switching applications through 12 GHz, with incident power up to 100 W.
