Description
M/A-COM Technology Solutions MA4AGBLP912 is an Aluminum-Gallium-Arsenide anode enhanced, beam lead PIN diode. AlGaAs anodes, which utilize M/A-COM Tech’s patented hetero-junction technology, produce less diode “On” resistance than conventional GaAs or silicon devices. This device is fabricated in a OMCVD system using a process optimized for high device uniformity and extremely low parasitics. The result is a diode with low series resistance, 4Ω, low capacitance, 28fF, and an extremely fast switching speed of 5nS.
