Schottky Zero Bias Detector Diodes M/A-COM Products
Rev. V1
Features
• Can Be Used Without External Bias
• Exhibits Uniform Rv Characteri stic s
• Available In ODS–119 and ODS-186 Hermetic
Ceramic Packages
• P Type Schottky Diode
• RoHS Compliant
Description and Applications
M/A-COM’s ceramic packaged Zero Bias Detector
