In this rf switch, the PIN diodes are used to shut on of off several antennas. The current source is a 12 volt circuit composed of a transformer, bridge rectifier and a regulator IC. In order to know ...

Switches, digital and analog attenuators, and limiters each have unique functions that require proper device selection. The design difficulty lies within the parametric translation from diode ...

To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection ... imperfect isolation between ports of a switch or a circulator is responsible for synchronous overload ...

In the proposed method, every IO pin is connected to every other pin with two switch-and-diode series circuits. Figure 1 shows a two-pin example. In this configuration, switch S1 can be read by ...

The MPS4101-6LP is a single pole single throw PIN switch with a 3mm QFN-packaged ... providing a processed PIN diode packaged in a plastic outline suitable for standard or co-planar microstrip ...

The limiter design employs a two-stage detector circuit which enables ultra-fast turn-on of the high-power PIN Diodes. “These two devices are excellent additions to Teledyne e2v HiRel’s high ...
