GMP4236-GM1/TR

RF Diode Overview

The GMP4236-GM1/TR is a single RF PIN diode from the Microchip Technology GIGAMITE series, designed for surface-mount applications in the 0805 (2012 metric) package. It features a peak reverse voltage of 300V and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a capacitance of 0.35pF at 50V and 1MHz, and a resistance of 1 ohm at 20mA and 100MHz. The device complies with RoHS3 standards and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (unlimited).

RF Diode Feature Summary

• High breakdown voltage capability suitable for high-power RF switching applications.
• Low capacitance design optimized for minimal signal distortion at radio frequencies.
• Robust thermal performance allowing operation in extreme industrial environments.

RF Diode Applications

• RF switching circuits requiring high isolation and low insertion loss.
• Attenuator modules for communication systems.
• Phase shifters in radar and electronic warfare systems.

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm current production status as component availability may vary. Ensure the supplier provides valid RoHS3 compliance documentation. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications that might affect pinout or materials. Validate the MSL rating if moisture-sensitive handling procedures are required during assembly.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component based on its 300V peak reverse voltage rating and 0805 footprint constraints. Compare the 0.35pF capacitance against system requirements for high-frequency performance. Consider the wide operating temperature range for harsh environment deployments. Evaluate the 1 ohm resistance at specified test conditions for power handling needs. Ensure the single-diode configuration matches the circuit topology.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the GIGAMITE series of RF PIN diodes manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is distinct from other series like A42MX or MIC5367 found in general catalogs. The GMP4236 model specifically targets high-voltage RF applications compared to lower-voltage variants in the same package family.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for GMP4236-GM1/TR are not available in the provided reference data. Cross-reference with other 300V 0805 RF PIN diodes only after verifying exact electrical parameter matching.
