Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...

Offered in a variety of plastic surface-mount packages, the SMP1302 series of silicon PIN diodes from Skyworks Solutions provides a capacitance of 0.3 pF for use in high-volume switch and attenuator ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, ...

Designed for switching and attenuator applications from HF through UHF frequencies, a family of PIN diodes comes in nonmagnetic metal electrode leadless faced (MELF) packages. The devices use a ...
