MACOM's manufactures a series of silicon PIN limiter
diodes with small and medium I-region lengths which
are specifically designed for high signal applications.
The devices are designed to provide low insertion loss,
at zero bias, as well as low flat leakage power with
fast signal response/recovery times. Parts are available
as discrete die or assembled into a variety of surface
mount or ceramic pill packages. See the Available Case
Style table on page 6 for the specific ceramic package
styles and their availability for individual part numbers.
The MA4L and MADL-0110 Series of PIN limiter diodes
are designed for use in passive limiter control
circuits to protect sensitive receiver components
such as low noise amplifiers (LNA), detectors,
and mixers covering the 10 MHz to 18 GHz frequency range.
