The MADP-000235-10720T is a surface mount PIN
diode in a non-magnetic Metal Electrode Leadless
Faced (MELF) package. The MADP-000235-10720T
is manufactured using MACOM's time proven HIPAX technology. The result is a low inductance ceramic package with no ribbons
or wires. The package utilizes a unique non-magnetic
plating process that provides for a hermetically sealed
component that has extremely low electromagnetic
permeability. Incorporated in the package is a glass
passivated CERMA chip that is full face bonded on
the cathode and anode which maximizes the surface
contact area to minimize the electrical and thermal
resistances. The chip and package have been comprehensively characterized both electrically and mechanically to ensure repeatable and predictable performance.
The MADP-000235-10720T is designed for circuit
protection and the tuning of RF coil designs in MRI
applications. When connected in an anti-parallel
configuration these PIN diodes provide excellent
protection from long RF pulses and spikes.
