Application NOTE. Design with PIN Diodes Introduction The PIN diode finds wide usage in RF, UHF, and microwave circuits. At these types of frequencies, a PIN diode is fundamentally a device with an impedance controlled by its DC. excitation. A unique feature of the PIN diode is its ability to control large amounts of RF power with much lower levels of DC. This Application Note describes the use of PIN Diodes in circuit Design . PIN diode Fundamentals The PIN diode is a current-controlled resistor at radio and microwave frequencies. It is a silicon semiconductor diode in Figure 1. PIN diode Cross-Section which a high-resistivity, intrinsic I region is sandwiched between a P-type and N-type region. When the PIN diode is forward biased, There is a common misconception that carrier lifetime, , is the holes and electrons are injected into the I region.
