GC4410 – GC4495 ® TM CONTROL DEVICES – HIGH VOLTAGE PIN DIODES RoHS Compliant DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES The GC4400 series are high voltage, high power (cathode base) PIN diodes. These high resistivity silicon devices are glass passivated 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 Suitable for application to 18Ghz Low Loss The GC4400 series will operate typically with +50 mA forward bias. Breakdown voltages are available up to 750 volts. Consult the factory for higher voltage devices. Low Distortion 1 RoHS Compliant APPLICATIONS The GC4400 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 or lobing switches, channel or antenna selection switches (telecommunications), duplexers (radar) and digital phase shifters (phased arrays). The GC4400 series can be used in RF circuits as an on/off at moderate RF power levels. Attenuator type applications include amplitude modulators, AGC attenuators, power levelers and level set attenuators. www.MICROSEMI.com High power handling Each device 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. 1 Products are supplied with a Gold finish and are suitable for RoHS complaint assembly.
