Description
Skyworks’ Silicon Mesa Beam Lead PIN diode is surrounded by a
glass frame for superior strength and electrical performance that
surpasses the standard beam lead PINs. The DSM8100-000 is
designed for low resistance, low capacitance and fast switching
time. The oxide-nitride passivation layers provide reliable opera-
tion and stable junction parameters that provide complete sealing
of the junction permitting use in assemblies with some degree of
moisture sealing. A layer of glass provides increased mechanical
strength.
The DSM8100 is ideal for microstrip or stripline circuits and for
circuits requiring high isolation from a series mounted diode such
as broad band multi-throw switches, phase shifters, limiters,
attenuators and modulators.

Mesa Beam Lead Diode Specifications
Performance is guaranteed only under the conditions listed in the specifications table and is
not guaranteed under the full range(s) described by the Absolute Maximum specifications.
Exceeding any of the absolute maximum/minimum specifications may result in permanent
damage to the device and will void the warranty.
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 poten-
tials of several kilovolts on the human body or
equipment, which can discharge without detection.
Industry-standard ESD precautions must be employed
at all times.
