APD Series
Description
Alpha's APD Series of silicon PIN diode chips are
designed for use as switch and attenuator devices in high
performance hybrid microwave integrated circuits. These
PIN diode designs are useful over a wide range of
frequencies from below 100 MHz to beyond 30 GHz.
These devices utilize Alpha's well established silicon
technology resulting in high resistivity and tightly
controlled I region width PIN diodes. APD0505-00
through APD1510-000 are primarily designed for fast
speed through moderate speed switch applications. They
have low resistance and capacitance at zero bias and
reverse bias. The thick I region APD2220-000 is primarily
designed for low distortion attenuator applications.
