MA4E2502

SURMOUNTTM Low, Medium and High Barrier Silicon Schottky Diodes Features Extremely Low Parasitic Capitance and Inductance Surface Mountable in Microwave Circuits, No Wirebonds Required Rugged HMIC Construction with Polyimide Scratch Protection Reliable, Multilayer Metalization with a Diffusion Barrier, 100% Stabilization Bake (300 °C, 16 hours) Lower Susceptibility to ESD Damage MA4E2502 Series V5 The MA4E2502 Family of SurMount Schottky diodes are recommended for use in microwave circuits through Ku band frequencies for lower power applications such as mixers, sub-harmonic mixers, detectors and limiters. The HMIC construction facilitates the direct replacement of more fragile beam lead diodes with the corresponding Surmount diode, which can be connected to a hard or soft substrate circuit with solder. Description and Applications The MA4E2502 SurMountTM Series Diodes are Silicon Low, Medium, and High Barrier Schottky Devices fabricated with the patented Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (HMIC) process. HMIC circuits consist of Silicon pedestals which form diodes or via conductors embedded in a glass dielectric, which acts as the low dispersion, microstrip transmission medium. The combination of silicon and glass allows HMIC devices to have excellent loss and power dissipation characteristics www.DataSheet4U.com in a low profile, reliable device. The Surmount Schottky devices are excellent choices for circuits requiring the small parasitics of a beam lead ...
