Description
Skyworks APD Series of silicon PIN diode chips are designed for
use as switch and attenuator devices in high performance hybrid
microwave integrated circuits. These PIN diode designs are
useful over a wide range of frequencies from below 100 MHz to
beyond 30 GHz. These devices utilize Skyworks well established
silicon technology resulting in high resistivity and tightly con-
trolled I region width PIN diodes. APD0505-00 through
APD0810-000 are primarily designed for fast speed through
moderate speed switch applications. They have low resistance
and capacitance at zero bias and reverse bias. The thick I region
APD2220-000 is primarily designed for low distortion attenuator
applications.

Performance is guaranteed only under the conditions listed in the specifications table and is
not guaranteed under the full range(s) described by the Absolute Maximum specifications.
Exceeding any of the absolute maximum/minimum specifications may result in permanent
damage to the device and will void the warranty.
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 poten-
tials of several kilovolts on the human body or
equipment, which can discharge without detection.
Industry-standard ESD precautions must be employed
at all times.
