Description and Applications
MACOM’s broad line of packaged PIN diodes
encompass a comprehensive range of electricalcharacteristics and package outlines. This diverse
union of semiconductor technology and chippackaging gives considerable flexibility to the circuitdesigner. The fast switching series of packaged PIN
diodes utilize a thin I-region, silicon oxide or glass
passivated chip which provides for low leakage
current and low insertion loss.
With the use of in process control monitors toregulate wafer fabrication parameters, thesedevices will achieve consistent performance incontrol circuit applications. The high voltage productline of packaged PIN diodes employs MACOM
CERMACHIP® passivation process which provides
for a hard glass encapsulation that hermeticallyseals and protects the active area of the chip.
These packaged CERMACHIP® PIN diodes are
ideally suited for use in high power applications
where high level RF voltages are present. The diodechips are bonded into sealed ceramic packages thatare designed for the most stringent electrical andenvironmental conditions. An extensive choice ofpackage styles are available which may be used in awide variety of RF microwave circuits.

Ordering Information
The Packaged PIN Diode specifications shown in the tables on pages 2, 3, & 4 are for the standard style
package. The standard package style is indicated by the number following the dash after the base part number.
Note that the specification tables list the total diode capacitance for the standard case style. The total capacitancefor the base part in an alternative package will differ and is computed by adding the junction capacitance of thechip and the parasitic capacitance of the alternative package as defined in the Package Parasitic Capacitance
table.

To compute the chip junction capacitance, subtract the total capacitance shown in the specifications tables onpages 2, 3, & 4 from the appropriate standard style package capacitance below The various base part numbers
are only available in the case styles shown in the Package Availability Table below. To order, indicate the base
part number followed by a dash and the desired package style.
For example: The MA4P506-258 is the MA4P506 chip in the 258 style package.
Other package styles not listed may be available by request at: macom.com
