Schottky Barrier Diodes
For Mixers and Detectors
RoHS Compliant
DESCRIPTION
Schottky Barrier devices are currently available in single beamlead, dual “T”,
ring quad and bridge quad configurations. Devices are available in monolithic
form for hybrid applications as well as in hermetic or non-hermetic packages.
Monolithic devices are recommended for highest frequency, broadband
designs. The beamlead design eliminates the problems associated with wire
bonding very small junction devices thus improving reliability and
performance in MIC applications. Our in house epitaxy process capability
insures repeatability for lowest conversion loss through Ku Band. A broad
range of unique metallization schemes produce Microsemi’s complete line of
barrier heights. Diodes are currently available with barrier heights as low as
240 mV and up to 625 mV per junction. By optimizing epitaxy and
metallization, these devices achieve the lowest R

products resulting in
exceptional conversion loss performance. “High Rel” screening is available on
packaged devices per your requirements.
This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive
2002/95/EC.

APPLICATIONS
Schottky barrier diodes are suitable for a variety of circuit applications ranging
from single ended RF mixers to low level high speed switching. The
monolithic beamlead design minimizes parasitic inductance and capacitance
insuring repeatable performance through Ku band. Single junction devices
such as the style ‘S12’ are well suited for RF Mixers, level detectors, phase
detectors, modulators, etc. With junction capacitances as low as .06 pF,
Monolithic Quads are ideally suited for broadband double balanced mixer
designs through 26.5 GHz. The Ultra-Low Barrier devices (GC9900 Series)
are designed for mixers with low or starved Local Oscillator levels where
optimal conversion loss is a must. High barrier diodes, (GC9940 Series) are
designed for applications where high drive levels are available, such as,
Doppler mixers or motion detection. Schottky diodes are available in Ultra-
Low, Medium and High Drive levels to fit virtually any circuit requirement.
These devices are supplied with Gold
plated terminations. Consult factory for
details.
