ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM is considering for
development. Performance is based on target specifications, simulated results, and/or prototype
measurements. Commitment to develop is not guaranteed.
PRELIMINARY: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM has under develop-
ment. Performance is based on engineering tests. Specifications are typical. Mechanical outline has
been fixed. Engineering samples and/or test data may be available. Commitment to produce in
volume is not guaranteed.
The MA4P277/MA4P7437/MADP-007437 series and
MA4P278/MA4P7438/MADP-007438 series device
have thicker intrinsic regions to provide lower distor-
tion in attenuator circuits.
The MA4P290/MADP-007167 series devices have
the thickest I-Region, offering the lowest distortion
and highest IP3 for current controlled attenuator cir-
cuits. These devices are ideal for AGC functions for
infrastructure and CATV applications.
These parts are available as single diodes, series
tees (ST), series tee reverse (STR), common
cathode pairs (CK), common anode pairs (CA), and
unconnected
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
(case
style
1141),
and
the
SC-79 (case style 1279) packages. These packages
are supplied on tape 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 offers silicon PIN diodes in five standard,
low cost, surface mount plastic packages for use as
switches and attenuators. These diodes are offered
with standard Sn/Pb plating, as well as with 100%
matte Sn plating on our RoHS compliant devices.
M/A-COM’s PIN diodes feature a variety of I-region
lengths resulting in lower resistance, and lower
capacitance devices for various microwave control
circuit applications.
The
MA4P275/MA4P7436/MADP-007436
series
offer the lowest series resistance for best perform-
ance 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
3GHz.
The MA4P282/ MA4P7447/MADP-007155 series
and the MA4P274/MA4P7455/ MADP-007455 series
are general purpose PIN diodes useful as either
switches or attenuators.
