Zero Bias Detector Diode MZB600 Features • Very Low Forward Voltage: 300 mV maximum @ 1 mA • Low Tangential Signal Sensitivity: -42 dBm typical • Low Junction Capacitance: CJ = 0.2 pF typical • High breakdown voltage: 3 V minimum • Available in Beam Lead, Multijunction Chip or Packaged • RoHS Compliant CS12 / B11 CS10 / C15P Applications • Sensitive, low input power detectors CS32 CS19-6 Description The MZB600 ZBD diode is a sensitive, very low barrier height Schottky diode designed for use in high frequency, low input power detectors. It is known as a zero bias detector (ZBD) since its very low barrier height results in excellent sensitivity to very small signals without the need for external bias current. This diode is available as a five-junction common-anode chip, as a single-junction beam lead or packaged in one of several suitable packages. It is manufactured using Aeroflex/Metelics proven diode fabrication process which optimizes diode characteristics for optimal electrical performance and excellent reliability. The low junction capacitance (0.2 pF typical) of the MZB600 enables the device to be used in sensitive detector circuits with input signals up to 20 GHz. This rugged device is capable of reliable operation in all military, commercial and industrial applications. The device is RoHS compliant. Environmental Capabilities The MZB600 ZBD diode is capable of meeting the environmental requirements of MIL-STD-750 and MIL-STD-883. ESD Rating As are all semiconductors, ZBD Diodes are susceptible to damage from ESD events. Proper ESD prevention procedures should be followed. The ESD rating for this device is Class 0 (HBM).
