Description

The CLA4606-085LF 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 Ω and maximum capacitance

at 6 V is 0.38 pF. The combination of low junction capacitance,

low parasitic inductance, low thermal resistance, and nominal

2.5 um I-region width makes the CLA4606-085LF useful in large

signal-limiter applications. The threshold level is +12 dBm,

nominal.

A block diagram of the CLA4606-085LF is shown in Figure 1. The

absolute maximum ratings of the CLA4606-085LF are provided in

Table 1. Electrical specifications are provided in Table 2.

Typical performance characteristics of the CLA4606-085LF are

provided in Table 3 and illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.
