Description
M/A-COM’s MA4FCP Series consists of Silicon Flip
Chip PIN diodes fabricated with M/A-COM’s
patented HMIC process. This diode is fabricated on
epitaxial wafers using a process designed for
repeatable electrical characteristics and extremely
low parasitics. This diode is fully passivated with
Silicon Nitride and has an additional layer of
Polyimide for scratch protection. These protective
coatings prevent damage to the junction during
automated or manual handling. This flip chip
configuration is suitable for pick and place insertion.
Applications
The small 0315 outline and low 0.085 pS RC
product, make the device useful for multi-throw
switch and switched phase shifter circuits requiring
<20nS switching speeds up to 18GHz operating
frequency.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
