Description
The MA4L and MADL Series are silicon PIN limiter
diodes with small and medium I-region lengths
which are specifically designed for high signal
applications. The devices are designed to provide
low insertion loss, at zero bias, as well as low flat
leakage power with fast signal response/recovery
times. Parts are available as discrete die or
assembled into a variety of surface mount or
ceramic pill packages. See the Available Case Style
table for the specific ceramic package styles and
their availability for individual part numbers.

Applications
The MA4L and MADL Series of PIN limiter diodes
are designed for use in passive limiter control
circuits to protect sensitive receiver components
such as low noise amplifiers (LNA), detectors, and
mixers covering the 10 MHz to 18 GHz frequency
range.
