DESCRIPTION
New 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 metalization 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 metalization, these devices achieve the lowest Rs-Cj products resulting in exceptional
conversion loss performance. “High Rel” screening is available on packaged devices per your requirements.
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.
