DESCRIPTION
The device structure consists of two plated co-planar leads (commonly
referred to as “beams”) extending from the “P” and “N” type contacts
selectively located on the semiconductor substrate. Our application notes
offer an explanation of the device’s operational characteristics and how they
may be useful in specific circuit designs.

Hybrid microwave integrated circuit applications utilizing stripline or microstrip
substrates generally require that the active components be of appropriate size
and integrity so that the physical constraints imposed by handling and
bonding and electrical performance demands can be met. The GC4800 series
planar PIN diodes are offered to meet the above MIC demands as well as
conform to established industry norms on minimum expected performance
and geometric format and convention.
KEY FEATURES
 Low Series Resistance
 Low Capacitance
Thermal oxide junction passivation is incorporated into the structural design
for electrical permanence (low conductive leakage, stable capacitance and
reverse breakdown voltage).
 Fast Switching
 Electrically Stable Performance
 Sound Device Construction
This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive
2002/95/EC.
 Performance through 18 GHz
 RoHS Compliant
APPLICATIONS
The GC4800 series beam lead PIN diodes, with their characteristically low
series resistance, low junction capacitance and low parasitic reactance, are
ideally suited for low power series or shunt switching, limiting, phase shifting,
attenuating and demodulating applications in stripline or microstrip format
through Ku band. The GC4801, with its low series resistance and junction
capacitance, would be a better choice for applications requiring high isolation
in a series mode switch. Please refer to MicroNote 713 for for device and
circuit design information as well as helpful tips on handling and bonding.
APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS
 High Speed Switching
 Broadband Performance
 Suitable for Applications through
