CHE1270a98F RoHS COMPLIANT 5-44GHz Detector GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description The CHE1270a is a detector that integrates a matched detection diode (Vdet). A reference diode is also available to be used in differential mode (Vref). It is designed for a wide range of applications where an accurate transmitted power control is required, typically commercial communication systems. The circuit is manufactured with a Schottky diode MMIC process, 1µm gate length, via holes through the substrate and air bridges. It is available in chip form.

As the voltage detection is the difference between Vref and Vdet, the external resistor value should be identical on these two ports. For information, a variation of 3% leads around 1mV variation of detected voltage. Due to ESD protection circuits on RF input, an external capacitance might be requested to isolate the product from external voltage that could be present on the RF access. ESD protections are also implemented on Vdet and Vref accesses. Due to the BCB coating on the chip, qualification domain implies the chip must be glued.
