The SMP1307 series of plastic packaged, surface mountable, low capacitance (0.3 pF) silicon PIN diodes are designed for use in attenuator applications from 5 MHz to beyond 2 GHz. The thick 175 m I region of these PIN diodes makes them very attractive for use in very low distortion PI and TEE attenuators commonly used in TV distribution applications. The 1.5 S typical carrier lifetime of these diodes results in resistance of 100 maximum at 1 mA and 10 maximum at 10 mA. Available in a selection of plastic packages, as a single diode in the small footprint SOD-323, and in a variety of configurations in the SOT-23. Also available in a SOT-5 (SMP1307-027) package as a four diode array designed for insertion in the commonly used 4 diode PI attenuator circuit.
