The MADL-011008 is a silicon PIN limiter with small
I-region length specifically designed for medium
signal applications. The limiter is available in a
lead-free 1.2 x 1.5 mm 6-lead PDFN package. The
limiter is ideally designed to provide low insertion
loss, at zero bias, as well as low flat leakage power
with fast signal response/recovery times.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Silicon Integrated Circuits are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these devices.
* Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, European Union Directive 2002/95/EC.
