Description
The MA4PK3000-1252 is a 3000 volt PIN diode chipthat utilizes advanced processing technologies
which assures exceptional and reliable performancein multi-kilowatt switch applications. This PIN diodechip is designed to have low resistance, low loss,
low distortion and is capable of dissipating very highpower. The chip is manufactured using ultra highresistively, long carrier lifetime, float zone material
onto which the P+ and N+ regions are deposited.
The epitaxial process is specifically designed andoptimized for high voltage PIN diodes and results inbetter preservation of the carrier lifetime andsuperior layer to layer interface when compared to aconventional double diffused process. The
formation of the I-region thickness is precisely
monitored using modern measurement techniquesand controls.
The MA4PK3000-1252 chip utilizes MACOM’s
proprietary Cermachip process which has a hardglass surface that covers all exposed junction andintrinsic surfaces. The result is a hermetically sealed,passivated chip that has been used in many highreliability military and commercial programs. The
electrical and thermal properties have been
extensively characterized to assure predictableperformance.

All dimensions are in mils.

These electronic devices are sensitive toelectrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniquesshould be used when handling these Class 1Cdevices.

5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near thesesurvivability limits.
7. Upon completion of circuit installation, the chip must be covered
with a dielectric conformal coating such as SYLGARD 527® toprevent voltage arcing.
8. Diode attached to infinite heat sink at case temperature.
9. Maximum junction temperature +175°C.
