MADS-011010-14150T

RF Diode Overview

The MADS-011010-14150T is a Schottky limiter from MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for broadband performance from DC to 6 GHz. It features a 3-terminal low-pass filter shunt structure with a typical insertion loss of 0.5 dB at 1.25 GHz and a slope resistance of 7 Ω. The device handles +30 dBm peak and CW incident power at 1 GHz, providing a flat leakage power of +22 dBm under these conditions. Packaged in a lead-free 1.5 x 1.2 mm 6-lead TDFN, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration. The standard designation includes a reel quantity specification. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and thermal reflow profiles during procurement planning. Confirm availability of sample boards if initial evaluation is required before full-scale integration.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, broadband limiter is needed for frequencies up to 6 GHz. Consider the 7 Ω slope resistance and 0.34 pF capacitance for impedance matching requirements. Evaluate the +30 dBm power handling against expected signal levels. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the system environment constraints.
