UMX4000-S-Band-LowDistortion-PIN

The UM4000 series features high power PIN diodes with long carrier lifetimes and thick I-regions. They are especially suitable for use in low distortion switches and attenuators, in HF through S band frequencies. While both series are electrically equivalent, the UM4900 series have higher power ratings due to a shorter thermal path between the chip and package. High charge storage and long carrier lifetime enable high RF levels to be controlled with relatively low bias current. Similarly, peak RF voltages can be handled well in excess of applied reverse bias voltage.
