These devices are ESD sensitive and must be handled using ESD precautions.

DESCRIPTION

This series of surface mount diodes are specifically design for high

volume surface mount applications. The GigaMite design is

optimized for improved electrical and thermal performance over

standard plastic package technology. The result is higher

frequency coverage and better power handling than comparable

plastic packages. Product parameters have been optimized for

broadband switching, attenuator and limiter applications.

The package parasitics provide smooth non-resonant functionality

through 5 GHz. Microsemi utilizes high quality dielectric materials

resulting in low loss and broadband performance.

This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive

2002/95/EC.

APPLICATIONS

Microsemi Lowell offers a variety of PIN diodes in the GigaMite

package style. These products are well suited for microwave

switching and attenuator applications. They are ideal for WLAN and

WIMAX applications.

The GML4701 devices are designed for economical high

performance receiver protection through 5 GHz.
