HSMP-383x
Surface Mount RF PIN Diodes
Data Sheet
Description/Applications
The HSMP-383x series of general purpose PIN diodes
are designed for two classes of applications. The first
is attenuators where current consumption is the most
important design consideration. The second application
for this series of diodes is in switches where low
capacitance is the driving issue for the designer.
The HSMP-386x series Total Capacitance (C
T
) and Total
Resistance (R
T
) are typical specifications. For applications
that require guaranteed performance, the general
purpose HSMP-383x series is recommended.
A SPICE model is not available for PIN diodes as SPICE
does not provide for a key PIN diode characteristic,
carrier lifetime.
