The CLA4610-085LF is a surface-mountable, low-capacitance silicon PIN limiter diode designed as a shunt-connected PIN diode for high-power limiter applications from 10 MHz to over 6 GHz. Maximum resistance at 10 mA is 2.2 Ω and maximum capacitance at 6 V is 0.32 pF. The combination of low junction capacitance, low parasitic inductance, low thermal resistance, and nominal 4.5 um I-region width makes the CLA4610-085LF useful in large signal-limiter applications. The threshold level is +15 dBm, nominal. A block diagram of the CLA4610-085LF is shown in Figure 1. The absolute maximum ratings of the CLA4610-085LF are provided in Table 1. Electrical specifications are provided in Table 2. Typical RF performance characteristics of the CLA4610-085LF are provided in Table 3 and illustrated in Figure 4.
