Description
The Skyworks CLA series of silicon limiter diodes provides passive receiver protection over a wide range of frequencies from 100 MHz to over 30 GHz. These devices use the well-established Skyworks silicon technology resulting in high resistivity and tightly controlled base width PIN limiter diodes. Limiter circuits using these devices perform with strong limiting action and low loss.

FEATUREs
● Established Skyworks limiter diode process
● High-power, mid-range, and cleanup designs
● Low insertion loss: 0.1 dB @ 2.6 GHz
● Peak power handling to +74 dBm
● Ultra-low spike leakage power
● Tight control of I layer base width
● Mesa and planar chip designs

APPLICATIONs
● LNA receiver protection
● Commercial and defense radar
