MADL-011008 PIN Diode Limiter Rev. V2 50 MHz - 4 GHz Features Functional Schematic Low Insertion Loss and Noise Figure +40 dBm Peak and +30 dBm CW Power +10 dBm P1dB Compression Point N/C N/C 1 +16 dBm Flat Leakage Lead-Free 1.2 x 1.5 mm 6-Lead PQFN Package RoHS Compliant* and 260C Reflow Compatible IN GND Description The MADL-011008 is a silicon PIN limiter with small N/C I-region length specifically designed for medium N/C signal applications. The limiter is available in a lead-free 1.2 x 1.5 mm 6-lead PQFN package. The limiter is ideally designed to provide low insertion loss, at zero bias, as well as low flat leakage power with fast signal response/recovery times. Pin Configuration Pin No. Pin Name Description The MADL-011008 PIN limiter is designed for use in 1 N/C No Connection passive limiter control circuits to protect sensitive receiver components such as low noise amplifiers 2 GND RF Ground (LNA), detectors, and mixers. 3 N/C No Connection 4 N/C No Connection 1,2 Ordering Information 5 IN RF Input 6 N/C No Connection Part Number Package 3 7 Pad GND MADL-011008-141200 Bulk Packaging 3. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be connected to RF and DC ground. MADL-011008-14120T Tape and Reel MADL-011008-001SMB Sample Test Board Handling Procedures 1. Reference Application Note M513 for reel size information. Please observe the following precautions to avoid 2.
