RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package style suffix against the Package Availability Table to ensure correct parasitic capacitance values. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for military screening requirements if applicable. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified power dissipation limits.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring high breakdown voltage and moderate switching speed. Compare the 0.50 pF capacitance and 1.00 Ω series resistance against circuit impedance requirements. Consider alternative packages like 255 or 258 if different parasitic characteristics are needed.

RF Diode Part Context

This component belongs to MACOM's Packaged PIN Diodes family, specifically the 1000 V CERMACHIP line. It shares the base MA4P604 chip with variants such as MA4P606 and MA4P607, differentiated by package styles and specific electrical tolerances within the same high-voltage category.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

MA4P606-30 offers similar voltage ratings but with lower series resistance (0.70 Ω) and higher capacitance (0.80 pF). MA4P607-43 provides even lower resistance (0.40 Ω) but higher capacitance (2.00 pF). Verify package compatibility when substituting.

RF Diode FAQ

What is the standard package style for the MA4P604-30?

The standard package style indicated by the suffix '-30' is Case Style 30.

How does changing the package affect capacitance?

Changing the package alters the total capacitance due to different parasitic capacitances. For example, Case Style 255 adds 0.30 pF to the junction capacitance.

Is the MA4P604-30 available in tape and reel packaging?

According to the Package Availability Table, the MA4P604 base part is only available in case styles 30, 255, and 258, none of which are designated with a 'T' for tape and reel.
