CLA4609 Series

Silicon Limiter Diodes, Packaged and Bondable Chips


The Skyworks CLA series of silicon limiter diodes provides passive receiver protection over a wide range of frequencies from 100 MHz to over 20 GHz. These devices use a well-established silicon technology resulting in high resistivity and tightly controlled base width PIN limiter diodes. Limiter circuits using these devices perform with strong limiting action and low loss.

The CLA4609 series thick base width mesa diode is designed for coarse limiter-stage applications.

CLA4609 Series includes CLA4609-203, CLA4609-210, CLA4609-219 and CLA4609-240.
