KEY FEATURES
The GC4300 series are high speed (anode base) NIP diodes made with high
resistivity reverse epitaxial silicon material. These diodes are passivated with
silicon dioxide for high stability and reliability and have been proven by
thousands of device hours in high reliability systems.
 Available as packaged devices or
as chips for hybrid applications
 Low Loss
 Suitable for applications to 18Ghz
The NIP diode is used when negative bias current is available for forward
conduction and will operate with as little as -10 mA bias. These diodes have
somewhat faster speeds as compared with similar PIN diodes.
 High Speed
 Low Insertion Loss
These devices can withstand storage temperatures from -65°C to +200°C and
will operate over the range from -55°C to +150°C. All devices meet or exceed
military environmental specifications of MIL-PRF-19500.
 High Isolation
 Reverse Polarity for Applications
with special Bias Considerations
This series of diodes meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive
2002/95/EC. The standard terminal finish is gold unless otherwise specified.
Consult the factory if you have special requirements.
 RoHS Compliant

DESCRIPTION
1
APPLICATIONS
The GC4300 series can be used in RF circuits as an on/off element, as a
switch, or as a current controlled resistor in attenuators extending over the
frequency range from UHF through Ku band.
Switch applications include high speed switches (ECM systems), TR witches,
channel or antenna selection switches (telecommunications), duplexers
(radar) and digital phase shifters (phased arrays).
APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS
 RF / Microwave Switching
The GC4300 series are also used as passive and active limiters for low to
moderate RF power levels.
 Duplexers
 Digital Phase Shifting
Attenuator type applications include amplitude modulators, AGC attenuators,
power levelers and level set attenuators.
 Phased Array Radar

Notes:
1. This series of devices is available in standard case styles 00, 30, and 35. Many other styles are available on request.
2. Capacitance is measured at 1 MHz.
3. Resistance is measured AT 1 GHz using transmission loss techniques.
The junction capacitance specified is for a 00 (chip) package style. Standard wafer evaluation and
characterization is completed using a style 30 package. Diodes are available in many case styles. Each
type offers performance trade-offs. The proper choice of package style depends on the end application and
operating environment. Consult factory for assistance. Standard polarity (PIN) diodes and higher voltage
PIN and NIP diodes are also available. (See data sheets for GC4200, GC4400, and GC4500 series
respectively.)
