Broadcom, Inc. - Germany RF PIN Diode HSMP-386L-BLKG

The first is attenuators where current consumption is the most important design consideration. The second application for this series of diodes is in switches where low capacitance is the driving issue for the designer. The HSMP-386x series Total Capacitance (CT) and Total Resistance (RT) are typical specifications. For applications that require guaranteed performance, the general purpose HSMP-383x series is recommended. A SPICE model is not available for PIN diodes as SPICE does not provide for a key PIN diode characteristic, carrier lifetime.
