Description
The Skyworks CLA series of silicon limiter diodes provides passive receiver protection over a wide range of frequencies from 100 MHz to over 30 GHz. These devices use the well-established Skyworks silicon technology resulting in high resistivity and tightly controlled base width PIN limiter diodes. Limiter circuits using these devices perform with strong limiting action and low loss.

FEATUREs
• Established Skyworks limiter diode process
• High-power, mid-range, and cleanup designs
• Low insertion loss: 0.1 dB @ 2.6 GHz
• Peak power handling to +74 dBm
• Ultra-low spike leakage power
• Tight control of I layer base width
• Mesa and planar chip designs

APPLICATIONs
• LNA receiver protection
• Commercial and defense radar
