useful in large signal-limiter applications. The threshold level is
+15 dBm, nominal.
A block diagram of the CLA4610-085LF is shown in Figure 1. The
absolute maximum ratings of the CLA4610-085LF are provided in
Table 1. Electrical specifications are provided in Table 2.

Note 1:
Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION:
Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.

DATA SHEET • CLA4610-085LF: SURFACE MOUNT LIMITER DIODE
Functional Description
The PIN limiter diode can be described as an incident power
controlled, RF variable resistor. When there is no large input
signal present, the impedance of the limiter diode is at its
maximum, which produces minimum insertion loss, typically
less than 0.1 dB. The presence of a large input signal
temporarily forces the impedance of the diode to a much lower
value, which produces an impedance mismatch that reflects the
majority of the input signal power back toward its source.
During the limiting process, a DC current is generated by the
PIN limiter diode. The current is not the result of rectification,
but is the result of charge carriers being forced into the I layer
by the forward alternations of the large input signal. A complete
path must be provided for this current or the diode is not
capable of limiting. Therefore, an RF choke or similar structure
must be provided to complete the path for DC current flow, as
shown in the schematic in Figure 2.
The optional DC blocking capacitors protect the limiter diode
from external DC voltage that may be present in the source or
load circuits.
A cross section of the suggested printed circuit board design is
shown in Figure 3. The via shown in this view is critical, both for
electrical performance and for thermal performance. It is
recommended that several vias should be placed under the
entire footprint of the exposed paddle (pin 2) to minimize both
electrical inductance to the system ground and thermal
resistance to the system heat sink.
Using the application circuit and PCB design shown in Figures 2
and 3 results in the RF performance characteristics shown in
Figure 4 for the CLA4610-085LF.

High Power Limiter Design Application
The CLA4610-085LF PIN limiter diode is designed for shunt
applications in receiver protection power limiter circuits.
Compared to other surface mount packages, the design of the
QFN package produces lower thermal resistance and also reduces
the effects of the parasitic inductance of the anode bond wires.
A cross-sectional view of the CLA4610-085LF PIN limiter diode is
shown in Figure 5. The cathode of the die is soldered directly to
the top of the exposed paddle. This paddle is composed of
copper, so its thermal resistance is very low.
The copper ground paddle minimizes the total thermal resistance
between the I layer, which is the location where most heat is
generated under normal operation, and the surface to which the
package is mounted. Minimal thermal resistance between the
I layer and the external environment minimizes junction
temperature.
The electrically equivalent circuit of the CLA4610-085LF PIN
limiter diode is shown in Figure 6. The inductances of pins 1
and 2, as well as the inductances of the bond wires are in series
with the input and output transmission lines of the external circuit
rather than the portion of the circuit that contains the shunt PIN
limiter diode.
