High Voltage Driver Circuit For High-Power PIN Diode Switches
7/29/2022
The Skyworks High Voltage Driver Circuit for High-Power PIN Diode Switches is a CMOS/TTL compatible, DC coupled, highspeed PIN diode bias controller. This driver is designed to provide forward currents up to 200 mA for each diode, and 48 V reverse bias. It is designed for SPDT switches operating with a CW input a power up to 160 W, while utilizing fast switching NPN/MOSFET transistors.
