The NC103 is a noise diode designed for audio and RF applications, offering a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz with a minimum output of 3.0 μV/√Hz under operating conditions of 7 to 10 V forward voltage, 30 to 60 μA current, and a 2200 Ω load resistor. It is housed in a DO-35 package and operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The diode delivers symmetrical white Gaussian noise with a flat response, hermetically sealed for stability.
Noise diodes are the fundamental building blocks for analog noise systems. They are categorized for performance characteristics that enhance their broadband noise output and flat spectral response. All Maury noise diodes can deliver symmetrical white Gaussian noise and flat output power versus frequency*.
* Flatness and output power are dependent upon peripheral circuit characteristics
