It features a thick I-region and a voltage rating of 200 V, providing low distortion capabilities. Key electrical specifications include a junction capacitance of 0.25 pF at zero bias (1 MHz), a series resistance of 4.0 Ω at 500 MHz, and a minority carrier lifetime of 700 ns. The device operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C and has a maximum forward current of 200 mA.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for attenuator applications requiring high power handling and low distortion
• Utilizes a thick I-region structure combined with a high reverse breakdown voltage rating
• Manufactured using an established Skyworks silicon process with tightly controlled I-region characteristics

Applications

• High-performance RF and microwave attenuators
• Switches operating in high-power environments
• Microwave circuits requiring low distortion signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific die drawing number 149-815 matches your design requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 200 V reverse voltage rating aligns with your circuit's peak reverse voltage constraints. Ensure proper ESD handling procedures are followed during assembly, as the component is sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select the APD2220-000 when high power handling and low distortion are prioritized over fast switching speeds. This part is suitable for attenuator designs where the thick I-region and 200 V rating provide necessary performance margins. For applications requiring faster switching or lower capacitance, consider other parts in the APD series such as the APD0505 or APD1520.

Part Context

The APD2220-000 belongs to the Skyworks APD Series of silicon PIN diode bondable chips. This series includes various devices optimized for either switching or attenuator applications. The APD2220-000 is distinct within this family due to its higher voltage rating and thicker I-region, making it unique among the listed options for high-power attenuation tasks.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided datasheet. Designers should evaluate other APD series components based on specific parameter trade-offs between switching speed, capacitance, and power handling capabilities.
