DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
!"Low Dark Current
Microsemi’s GaAs PIN
Photodiode chips are ideal for wide
bandwidth 850nm optical
The MXP3000 series of
!"Extremely low capacitance
!"Wide bandwidth
photodiodes are originally offered in
die form for manufacturers of
photodiode modules, supervisory
pump laser circuits, and combination
PIN Photodiode-transimpedance
amplifier hybrids.
!"Fast response time
networking applications.
APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS
The five devices offered feature
excellent dark current ratings of 1-3
nA, and a breakdown voltage of 20
Volts with the bandwidth options for
1.4 GHz (active area of 250 mm2),
1.75 GHz(active area of 200 mm2), 5
GHz (active area of 100 mm2), 7 GHz
(active area of 60 mm2), and 8.75
GHz (active area of 30 mm2),
