The GMP4233-GM1 surface mount diodes are specifically design for high volume surface mount applications. The GigaMite design is optimized for improved electrical and thermal performance over standard plastic package technology. The result is higher frequency coverage and better power handling than comparable plastic packages. Product parameters have been optimized for broadband switching and attenuator applications. The package parasitics provide smooth non-resonant functionality through 5 GHz. Microsemi utilizes high quality dielectric materials resulting in low loss and broadband performance.
