PIN diodes are widely used as antenna switches and as switches in phase-shifter applications for phased arrays, radar, and broadband instrumentation. Silicon beam lead devices ...

Devices called “PIN diodes” are commonly used as variable dynamic resistances in variable attenuators for RF and microwave applications. Driven to conduct such and so many milliamperes DC, they can ...

Nexperia announced the addition of two 1200 V 20 A silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes to its continuously expanding ...

The LX3055 is a coplanar waveguide photodiode intended for high bandwidth single-mode fiber optic network applications. Fabricated as an InGaAS/InP PIN photodiode, it can serve ...

This driver function can be rendered as a discrete design, or with specialized ICs to fit the application. As an alternative, widely available op amps and specialty amplifiers, such as clamp ...

Checkout how high voltage diodes are constructed, diodes detecting ionising radiation, and finally this great series about our new favourite two-terminal device.

In this work, a first GaAs PIN diode for 900 V operation is fabricated and characterized. The temperature-dependent reverse breakdown behavior is investigated with the help of TCAD simulations and ...
