Description
Skyworks packaged, beam-lead and zero-bias Schottky barrier
detector diodes are designed for applications through the K band.
The choice of barrier metal and process techniques results in a
group of diodes with a wide selection of video impedance ranges.
Packaged diodes are suitable for use in waveguide, coaxial, and
stripline applications. Beam-lead and chip diodes can also be
mounted in a variety of packages.
The CDC and DDC series of Schottky diodes are especially well
suited for use in Microwave Integrated Circuit (MIC) applications
where the chip and wire approach is more desirable. Mounted
beam-lead diodes can be easily used in MIC, stripline, or other
such circuitry.
TSS is a parameter that best describes the use of a diode as a video
detector. It is defined as the amount of signal power, below a one
milliwatt reference level, required to produce an output pulse with
an amplitude sufficient to raise noise fluctuations by an amount
equal to the average noise level. TSS is approximately 4 dB above
the minimum detectable signal.
Voltage output is another useful parameter since it can be used in
the design of threshold detectors and power monitor circuits. Since
voltage output is a function of the diode’s video impedance, a
different minimum value is specified for each video impedance
range.
The absolute maximum ratings for the CDC and DDC series of
Schottky diodes are provided in Table 1. Electrical and physical
specifications are provided in Table 2. Package types for the
epoxy and hermetic diodes are listed in Table 3. SPICE model
parameters for the CDC7630/7631 series are defined in Table 4.
Typical performance characteristics are shown in Figures 1
through 8. Typical video detector circuits are shown in Figure 9.
The multi-octave, high-sensitivity circuit would be used in Electronic
Countermeasures (ECM) and similar applications. An RF matching
structure that presents maximum power at the diode junction must
be incorporated to ensure maximum sensitivity.
The broadband low-sensitivity circuit would be used where a low
input VSWR is required. In this circuit, low VSWR is accomplished by
the use of the 50
Ω
terminating resistor. Sensitivity, however, is
degraded by typically 10 dB from the multi-octave, high-sensitivity
circuit. The most common use for this circuit is in a broadband, flat
detector used primarily in the laboratory.
Package dimensions are provided in Figures 10 through 15.
Applications
The CDC and DDC series of zero-bias Schottky diodes are
designed for detector applications through 26 GHz and are useful
up to 40 GHz. They require no bias and operate efficiently even at
tangential signal power levels. Since they require no bias, noise is at
a minimum. A low video impedance means a short R-C time
constant and, therefore, wide video bandwidth and excellent pulse
fidelity.
As power monitors, these diodes may also be used to directly drive
metering circuits even at low power input levels. These diodes are
categorized by Tangential Signal Sensitivity (TSS), voltage output,
and video impedance for detector applications.

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 at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION:
Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
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 used at all times. The
CDC7630/7631 and DDC2353/2354 series of Schottky diodes are Class 0 Human Body Model (HBM) ESD devices.
