Description
The MELF and HIPAX PIN diode series are
designed for usage in switch and attenuator
applications requiring high power handling and low
distortion. These diodes incorporate a fully
passivated PIN diode chip resulting in an extremely
low reverse bias leakage current. The
semiconductor technology utilized in the MELF and
HIPAX families draws on MACOM ’s substantial
experience in PIN diode design and wafer
fabrication. The result is a device which has a thick
I-region and long carrier lifetime while maintaining
low series resistance and capacitance values. The
chips of the MELF and HIPAX PIN diodes are
enclosed in a rugged ceramic package and is full
face bonded to metal pins on both the anode and
cathode. The result is a low loss PIN diode with low
thermal resistance due to symmetrical thermal
paths. The parts are offered in either magnetic or
non-magnetic, HIPAX (axial leaded) or MELF (Metal
Electrode Leadless Faced) surface mount packages
for MRI applications. The MELF is a rectangular
SMQ, package which is designed for high volume
tape and reel assembly. This easy to use package
design makes automatic pick and place, indexing
and assembly, extremely easy. The parallel flat sur-
faces are suitable for most key jaw or vacuum pick-
up techniques. All of the solderable surfaces are tin
plated and compatible with industry standard reflow
and vapor phase soldering processes. See Applica-
tion Note
M538
for a typical solder reflow profile.
Many of MACOM’s HIPAX PIN diodes are also
available as chips. Please consult the “Silicon PIN
Chip Datasheet” for availability and specifications.

Applications
HIPAX PIN diodes are designed for use in a wide
variety of switch and attenuator applications from
HF through UHF frequencies and at power levels
above 1 kW, CW. The internal chip as well as each
diode assembly has been comprehensively tested
and characterized to ensure predictable and
repeatable performance.
