Please note: this product series is being discontinued and is not recommended for new designs. The SMP1304 series of plastic packaged, surface mountable, low capacitance (0.3 pF) silicon PIN diodes is designed for attenuator applications from 5 MHz to beyond 2 GHz. The thick 100 μm I region of these PIN diodes makes them very attractive for use in low-distortion PI and TEE attenuators commonly found in TV distribution applications. The 1 μs typical carrier lifetime of these diodes results in a resistance of 20 Ω maximum at 1 mA and 7 Ω maximum at 10 mA. The SMP1304 series is available in a selection of plastic packages: as a single diode in a small footprint SOD-323 package, and in a variety of configurations in an SOT-23 package, including the low inductance (0.4 nH) SMP1304-007. The SMP1304-019, a three-diode junction designed for insertion in PI attenuators, is available in an SOT-143 package. The SMP1304-027 is available in an SOT-5 package as a fourdiode array designed for insertion in commonly used four-diode PI attenuator circuits. SMP1304 Series includes SMP1304-005LF, SMP1304-006LF, SMP1304-027LF, and SMP1304-079LF.
