HLM-100001CH_High Power DC

Device Overview

General Description

The HLM-100001CH is a high-power GaAs Schottky diode signal limiter featuring high IP3 over a broad DC-10GHz bandwidth. It offers low insertion loss and excellent return loss from DC through X band and has a typical 1 dB compression point of 11 dBm. Its high power handling makes it ideal for protecting sensitive components and for applications requiring high linearity. It is available as a wire-bondable die.

Port Functions

Port	Function	Description
Ground Paddle	Ground	CH package ground path is provided through the substrate and ground bond pads.
IN	Input	IN is the RF input port and is diode connected for the CH package.
OUT	Output	OUT is the RF output port and is diode connected for the CH package.
VCONTROL	V Control	A 10Ω resistor with at least a 30 mA current rating must be used in series with VCONTROL and tied to ground for normal operation.

Specifications

Absolute Maximum Ratings

The Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. If these limits are exceeded, the device may be inoperable or have a reduced lifetime.

Parameter	Maximum Rating	Unit
Maximum Operating Temperature	100	°C
Maximum Storage Temperature	125	°C
Minimum Operating Temperature	-55	°C
Minimum Storage Temperature	-65	°C
RF Power Handling, CW @ 10 GHz, 25°C	10	W
θJC, Junction to Case Thermal Resistance	35	ºC/W

RF Power Handling represents an instantaneous, catastrophic limit and it isn’t derated for frequency, temperature, pulse conditions, or unit to unit variation.
