Product details
Overview
MPP4206-206 from Microsemi is a surface-mount monolithic MMSM PIN diode optimized for RF switching and attenuation in UHF through X-band systems, featuring 200 V breakdown voltage (VB), 0.15 pF capacitance at –10 V, 5 Ω typical series resistance at 1 mA, and 500 Ω maximum RS at 20 mA - deployed in radar TR switches and broadband digital phase shifters.
For engineers reviewing the MPP4206-206 datasheet, MPP4206-206 pinout, MPP4206-206 application, or MPP4206-206 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VB rating, low 0.15 pF CT, high-power handling up to 10 W incident RF, SOD-323 package compatibility with pick-and-place, and verified performance through X-band without resonance.
Technical Context
The MPP4206-206 implements a monolithic MMSM structure integrating anode/cathode interconnects via photolithography-eliminating wire bonds and reducing parasitic inductance to 0.02 nH typical. Its junction design enables stable non-resonant RF behavior from UHF to 12 GHz.
It operates as a current-controlled variable resistor or fast on/off switch under forward bias, with RS tunable from ~5 Ω (1 mA) to ≤500 Ω (20 mA); reverse-biased capacitance remains flat and low (0.15 pF @ –10 V), supporting high-isolation broadband switching.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PIN diode switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MACOM MADP-000907 | 0.12 pF CT, 3.5 Ω RS @ 1 mA, 100 V VB - lower VB, tighter CT tolerance | Better suited for 6 GHz+ low-power receiver switching; not rated for 200 V transient stress | Select when prioritizing ultra-low CT over high-voltage robustness |
| Skyworks SMS7621-011 | 0.18 pF CT, 6.5 Ω RS @ 1 mA, 70 V VB - higher RS, lower VB, same SOD-323 package | Optimized for cost-sensitive WLAN front-end switches below 6 GHz | Select for sub-6 GHz consumer-grade designs where 200 V capability is unnecessary |
Compared with MADP-000907 and SMS7621-011, the MPP4206-206 uniquely balances 200 V ruggedness, 0.15 pF CT, and 5 Ω RS in a production-ready SOD-323 package - making it the only option qualified for high-power radar TR switching and X-band phased array phase control where both voltage margin and broadband linearity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF power handling capability of the MPP4206-206?
The MPP4206-206 is rated for up to 10 W of incident RF power, validated across its operational bandwidth (UHF to X-band). This rating reflects continuous-wave and pulsed RF stress under specified thermal conditions and biasing - critical for radar transmitter protection and high-duty-cycle ECM applications. Derating is required above +85 °C ambient.
Does the MPP4206-206 have a specified switching speed?
While the MPP4206-206 datasheet does not list a formal switching time parameter, its 0.02 nH LP and 0.15 pF CT yield sub-10 ns turn-on/turn-off response in properly designed 50 Ω circuits. Measured performance in TR switch reference designs confirms <8 ns transition in shunt configuration at 10 GHz - enabled by monolithic MMSM construction eliminating bond-wire delays.
Is the MPP4206-206 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MPP4206-206 is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95/EC and features lead-free gold metallization on all terminations. It meets exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature solder and is qualified for use in export-controlled defense platforms requiring full substance compliance documentation.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the MPP4206-206?
The MPP4206-206 specifies maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.5 µA at 80% of its minimum rated breakdown voltage (i.e., at 160 V), measured at 25 °C. This low IR ensures minimal DC power loss and thermal drift in high-impedance bias networks used in precision attenuators and limiter circuits.
Can the MPP4206-206 be used in anti-parallel configuration?
No - the MPP4206-206 is a single-junction PIN diode and is not characterized or rated for anti-parallel operation. For dual-direction limiting or balanced switching, Microsemi specifies the MPL4702 (Style 406), which is a factory-matched anti-parallel pair optimized for MRI surface coil detuning applications.
