Description

The SKY16603-632LF is a fully integrated dual PIN diode

high-linearity limiter module in a surface-mount package. It is

designed for use as a passive receiver protector in wireless or

other RF systems for frequencies up to 6 GHz. It features a low

limiting threshold, low-insertion loss, excellent IIP3, and low IM

distortion in a Dual Flat No Lead (DFN) package.

The SKY16603-632LF module is comprised of dual PIN limiter

diodes and two DC blocking caps at the RF ports in a 2-lead DFN.

The small package design reduces printed circuit board area.

The module can operate over the operating temperature range of

-40˚C to +105˚C.

A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin

configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin

assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in
