ISIS Diode Schematic (2 Stack)

Description

Microsemi’s ISIS frequency multiplier varactors are

fabricated by epitaxially stacking the P-N junctions in

GaAs to obtain high power at millimeter wave

frequencies. The MIV series of ISIS multiplier diodes

has been designed to have the high cut-off frequency to

produce very low conversion loss when used in

appropriately designed circuits. MSC offers 2 and 3

stacked devices to produce high CW power from 40–

110 GHz. CW power up to 3 W at 44 GHz

(conversion loss <3 dB) and 1 W in W band

(conversion loss <9 dB) are realizable with single

devices. ISIS diodes are offered in the low parasitic

(<10 fF), low thermal resistance M29 package and in

other packages.
