Devices called “PIN diodes” are commonly used as variable dynamic resistances in variable attenuators for RF and microwave applications. Driven to conduct such and so many milliamperes DC, they can ...

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 ...

PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...

Keeping with current environmental initiatives, the HSMP-3866 and HSMP-3816 pi-connected, quad PIN-diode attenuators debut in lead-free SOT-25 surface-mount packages. Operating with a 1.2V control ...
