Skyworks APD series of silicon PIN diodes are designed for use as
switch and attenuator devices in high-performance RF and
microwave circuits. The PIN diode designs are useful over a wide
range of frequencies from below 100 MHz to beyond 30 GHz.
These devices use Skyworks well-established silicon technology
resulting in PIN diodes with tightly controlled I-region
characteristics.
The low capacitance and low resistance of the APD0505 through
APD1520 diodes are ideal for switch applications that require
insertion loss and fast switching speed. For switch or attenuator
applications requiring high power and low distortion, the thick Iregion
and high reverse breakdown voltage of the APD2220 is
ideal.
