RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging format. Options include bulk or tape and reel quantities of 3,000 or 10,000 pieces. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and lead-free finish requirements during procurement.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when guaranteed electrical parameters are required over typical values found in other series. Consider the 200 V breakdown voltage and 0.3 pF capacitance for high-isolation switching needs. Verify thermal dissipation limits for continuous wave operation.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the HSMP-383x general-purpose PIN diode family. Unlike the HSMP-386x series which lists typical specifications, the 383x series provides guaranteed minimum and maximum electrical limits for critical design margins.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include HSMP-3832, HSMP-3833, and HSMP-3834. These variants share the SOT-23 package but differ in internal configuration, such as series, common anode, or common cathode arrangements.

RF Diode FAQ

What is the difference between the HSMP-383x and HSMP-386x series?

The HSMP-383x series offers guaranteed performance specifications, whereas the HSMP-386x series lists total capacitance and resistance as typical values.

Is a SPICE model available for the HSMP-3830?

No, a SPICE model is not available because standard SPICE does not account for the key PIN diode characteristic of carrier lifetime.
