RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through official Broadcom channels or authorized distributors. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging format. Ensure the part meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing process. Check for any recent product change notices or obsolescence notifications before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select the HSMS-2824-TR2G when a common cathode dual-diode configuration is required within a compact SOT-23 footprint. This part is suitable for designs needing matched diode characteristics for differential circuits or voltage doublers. Consider thermal constraints as the SOT-23 package has higher thermal resistance compared to SOT-363 variants. Verify that the 15 V breakdown voltage meets the peak inverse voltage requirements of the specific circuit application.

RF Diode Part Context

The HSMS-2824-TR2G belongs to the HSMS-282x family of surface mount RF Schottky barrier diodes originally developed by Agilent Technologies and now maintained by Broadcom Limited. This family is characterized by its versatility across various package configurations while utilizing the same underlying diode chip technology. The series provides designers with flexibility in choosing between single, dual, and quad arrangements to suit different board space and functional needs.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and configuration include other parts from the HSMS-282x series such as the HSMS-2824-BLK or HSMS-2824-TR1G. Cross-family substitutes like the HSMS-286K offer lower capacitance but differ in electrical characteristics. Always verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance when substituting.
