• Designed for integration into high-volume commercial systems

Applications

• Commercial test equipment
• General-purpose RF signal processing
• High-volume manufacturing systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version, as preliminary documents may contain information subject to change. Confirm package compatibility and pinout details against the official MACOM documentation before integration. Ensure the component status remains active for current production needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a passive frequency doubling solution is required for frequencies between 4MHz and 18GHz. Consider its TO-8 packaging constraints and suitability for commercial-grade environments. Evaluate thermal management requirements inherent to passive bridge diode designs in high-volume applications.

Part Context

The FD93C belongs to the FD93 series of passive RF multipliers from MACOM. These components are engineered for reliability in demanding RF environments. The series supports general-purpose frequency multiplication tasks where passive operation offers distinct advantages over active circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official MACOM documentation for verified substitute part numbers within the FD93 series or compatible RF multiplier families. Cross-reference pinouts and frequency ranges carefully.
