The diodes are come in various chip configurations and
are available as single diodes, series tees (ST), series tee
reverse (STR), common cathode pairs (CK), common
anode pairs (CA), and unconn ected pairs in the respective
featured packages.
M/A-COM’s PIN diodes are available in the SOT-23 (case
style 287), the SOT-143 (case style 1068), the SOT-323/
SC-70 (3L) (case style 1146), the SOD-323 ( c ase style
1141), and the SC-79 (case style 1279) packages. These
packages are supplied on tap e and reel for automatic pick
and place assembly. The tape and reel suffix designation
is a “T” at the end of the part number.

Description and Applications
M/A-COM Technology Solutions offers silicon PIN diodes
in five standard, low cost, surface mount plastic packages
for use as switches and attenuators. The diodes are
offered with standard Sn/Pb plating, as well as with 100%
matte Sn plating on our RoHS compliant devices. These
PIN diodes feature a variety of I-region lengths resulting i n
lower resistance, and lower capacitance devices for
various microwave control circuit applicati ons.
The MA4P275 / MA4P7436 / MADP-007436 series offer
the lowest series resistance for best performance as low
loss series switches and high isolation shunt switches.
The MA4P789 / MA4P7433 / MADP-007433 series have
the lowest capacitance and offers the highest isolation in
series and series-shunt switches through 3G Hz.
The MA4P282 / MA4P7447 / MADP-007155 series, the
MA4P274 / MA4P7455 / MADP-007455 series and the
MADP-007448 series are general purpose PIN diodes
useful as either switches or attenuators.
The MA4P277 / MA4P7437 / MADP-007437 series and
MA4P278 / MA4P7438 / MADP-007438 series device
have thicker intrinsic regions to provide lower distortion in
attenuator circuits.
The MA4P290/MADP-007167 series dev ices have the
thickest I-Region, offering the lowest distortion and highest
IP3 for current controlled attenuator circuits. These
devices are ideal for AGC functions for infrastructure and
