Silicon Step Recovery Diodes

MMDx & SMMDx Series

Rev. V4

Features
• Output Combs to 40+ GHz
• Transition Times down to 35 ps Plastic SMT w/leads
• Screening per MIL-PRF-19500 and MIL-PRF-
38534 available

Description
The diodes feature fully passivated, true mesa
construction for sharp transitions and improved
stability. The beam lead SRDs have the industry’s
fastest transition times for millimeter wave
multiplication and picoseconds pulse forming.
