Silicon Limiter PIN Diode

The MLP7130-0805-2 silicon limiter PIN diode is a packaged device with a 2 µm (nominal) I layer thickness. It is manufactured using proven diode manufacturing process for high reliability and uniformity. The very low thermal resistance (< 150 ºC/W ) of this device enables it to reliably handle large RF power levels up to 33 dBm CW and RF peak incident power levels up to 47 dBm (1 µs pulse width, 0.1% duty cycle) at TA = 25 ºC. The I layer thickness of the diode is tightly controlled to produce consistent input 1 dB compression points in limiter circuits. The low series resistance and total capacitance of the diode combine to produce excellent isolation and insertion loss. The MLP7130-0805-2 limiter PIN diode complies with the RoHS requirements. The MLP7130-0805-2 limiter PIN diode is designed for use in moderate-power receiver protection circuit applications. It is suitable for use in the UHF bands and higher for incident peak power levels up to 47 dBm peak. It is durable and capable of reliably operating in military, commercial, and industrial environments. The device is available in waffle pack.
