The GaAs Quad Schottky diodes are fabricated on OMCVD epitaxial wafers using a process designed for repeatable electrical characteristics and extremely low parasitics. These Diodes are fully passivated with Silicon Nitride and have an additional layer of Polyamide for scratch protection. This protective coating prevents damage to the junction during automated, or manual handling; which makes them suitable for pick and place insertion. www.DataSheet4U.com Applications These mixers are well suited for high volume Automotive Radar applications where small size and exceptional performance are required. Typical applications include frequency conversion (Up/Down Converters).
