Surface Mount Schottky and PIN Diode
Product Family Overview
Introduction
Avago Technologies Inc., a leading provider of inno-
vative technologies for communications and life
sciences, has the broadest product offering of surface
mount Schottky and PIN diodes available today.
Avago uses a first-in-class wafer fab to ensure repeat-
ability from wafer to wafer.
About the Products
The Avago HSMS-2xxx and HMPS-xxxx series of
Schottky-barrier diodes provide the most consistent
performance available. These diodes feature low turn-
on voltage (as low as 0.34 V at 1 mA).
The Avago HSMP-386x and HMPP-386x series of gen-
eral purpose PIN diodes are designed for attenuator
applications, where current consumption is the most
important design consideration; and for RF switch-
ing, where low capacitance with no reverse bias is
the driving issue for the designer.
The Avago HSMP-389x and HMPP-389x series of RF
PIN switch diodes are optimized for switching appli-
cations where low resistance at low current combined
with low capacitance is required. Low junction
capacitance of the PIN diode chip, combined with
ultra-low package parasitics, mean that these prod-
ucts may be used at frequencies which are higher than
the upper limit for conventional PIN diodes.
