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 ...

This PIN diode rf switch is the ideal antenna switch for VHF and UHF and work with the PIN diodes which are special high frequency switching diodes with very low internal capacitance. The internal ...

A novel PIN diode concept is said to achieve 10 to 50 times better isolation than a typical PIN diode. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years ...

What is a PIN avalanche photodiode (APD)? What is a PIN photodiode? How to characterize avalanche breakdown in GaN. Major differences exist between a PIN photodiode and an avalanche photodiode (APD), ...

The lowly diode, a device with only two leads, can nonetheless do many things. Diodes can detect, rectify, suppress, emit light, detect light, change capacitance, emit microwaves and more. This wide ...

MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. MTSI unveiled two negative voltage drivers, MADR-011020 and MADR-011022. The new drivers enable the user to select voltage between -20V and -50V and -10V and ...

SCDs are supported, devices are tested and shipped from Teledyne’s certified US production facility MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teledyne e2v HiRel today announced two new additions to its ...

As alternatives to through-hole TO-39 or TO-18 packaged PIN diodes, Marktech Optoelectronics has announced hermetic surface-mount InGaAs PIN diodes sensitive to 1.7 or 2.6μm, protected against water ...

The trouble with fixing electronics is that most devices are just black boxes — literally. Tear it down, look inside, but it usually doesn’t matter — all you see are black epoxy blobs, taunting you ...

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teledyne e2v HiRel today announced two new additions to its family of high power limiters, the TDLM052402, a quasi-active, 2 kW, L/S/C-band SMT PIN Diode Limiter and ...
