Description
M/A-COM Technology Solutions KILOVOLT PIN
diode series utilize modern semiconductor and
packaging technology that assures low loss, low
distortion, and reliable performance in multi-kilowatt
switch applications at frequencies as low as 1 MHz.
The PIN chips employed have low resistance, high
power dissipation and very high stand-off voltage
