SKY16602-632LF: LOW-THRESHOLD PIN DIODE LIMITER
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY16602-632LF are
provided in Table 2. Electrical specifications for the un-tuned
limiter module are provided in Table 3, and typical performance
characteristics are illustrated in Figures 4 and 5. Electrical
specifications for the 2.45 GHz tuned limiter module are
provided in Table 4, and typical performance characteristics are
illustrated in Figures 6 and 7.

Figures 8 and 9 show the power derating curves for the limiter.
In Figure 8, the temperature is referenced to the bottom of the
QFN package. The power derating curve with the temperature
referenced to the bottom of the printed circuit board is shown in
Figure 9.

Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters set
CAUTION:
Although these devices are designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage them. These
devices must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human
body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be employed at all

Saturated CW input power is defined as the point where the diode series resistance does not change with the rectified current. As the input power increases past this point, output power will
increase until the diode reaches its max power limit.
2
Flat leakage power is defined as the power level after the limiter has fully turned on and the output pulse reaches a constant level.
3
Recovery time represents the transition time from the high-loss to low-loss state following the removal of high-power input. RF pulse modulation: 1
