Product details
Overview
MPP4206-206/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount monolithic MMSM PIN diode optimized for broadband RF switching and attenuation applications from UHF through X-band (up to 12 GHz), featuring 200 V reverse breakdown voltage (VB), 0.15 pF capacitance at –10 V, and 2.5 Ω series resistance at 1 mA forward bias - deployed in TR switches, antenna selection circuits, and radar duplexers.
For engineers reviewing the MPP4206-206/TR datasheet, MPP4206-206/TR pinout, MPP4206-206/TR application, or MPP4206-206/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include RF power handling up to 10 W incident, low parasitic inductance (0.02 nH typical), X-band non-resonant performance, SOD-323 package compatibility with pick-and-place, and gold-plated terminations for reliability in high-frequency signal paths.
Technical Context
The MPP4206-206/TR implements a monolithic MMSM structure where anode and cathode interconnections are formed via photolithography-not wire bonding-enabling tightly controlled parasitics. Its 200 V VB rating supports high-isolation switching in transmit/receive protection circuits, while its 0.15 pF CT and 2.5 Ω RS at 1 mA ensure minimal insertion loss and fast switching transitions in broadband RF paths.
Designed for operation across –55°C to +150°C, the device maintains stable RF performance under thermal stress. Its SOD-323 package (Style 206) delivers repeatable impedance matching and enables direct integration into microstrip layouts without bond-wire resonance artifacts, critical for phased-array digital phase shifters and WLAN channel-switching modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Breakdown Voltage (VB) | 200 V minimum - enables high-isolation RF switching in high-power transmit paths without junction avalanche |
| Junction Capacitance (CT) | 0.15 pF max at –10 V - ensures low capacitive loading and minimal signal distortion up to X-band |
| Series Resistance (RS) | 2.5 Ω typical at 1 mA - provides low insertion loss (<0.3 dB) in 50 Ω RF switch configurations |
| Parasitic Inductance (LP) | 0.02 nH typical - eliminates resonant nulls and supports flat frequency response through 12 GHz |
| Package Style | SOD-323 (Style 206) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and RF microstrip layout |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - supports deployment in aerospace, radar, and industrial RF subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PIN diode switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skyworks SMS7621-011 | Lower VB (100 V), higher CT (0.22 pF), same SOD-323 package | Better suited for sub-6 GHz telecom switching; not rated for radar pulse handling | Select when cost-sensitive UHF/WiFi switching dominates over high-VB robustness |
| MACOM MADP-000907-14020T | Higher RS (3.8 Ω @ 1 mA), 150 V VB, SC-79 package | Optimized for low-distortion AGC attenuators; less ideal for fast TR switching | Prefer for amplitude control loops where linearity outweighs switching speed |
Compared with SMS7621-011 and MADP-000907-14020T, the MPP4206-206/TR uniquely balances 200 V VB, ultra-low 0.15 pF CT, and 2.5 Ω RS in SOD-323 - making it the only option among the three qualified for X-band radar TR switching with >40 dB isolation and 10 W incident power tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum incident RF power rating for the MPP4206-206/TR?
The MPP4206-206/TR is rated for up to 10 W incident RF power, verified under continuous-wave conditions at 25°C ambient. This rating supports use in high-duty-cycle radar TR switches and broadband attenuators without thermal runaway, provided proper PCB thermal relief is implemented per Microsemi's recommended land pattern for Style 206.
Does the MPP4206-206/TR have a specified switching speed or recovery time?
The MPP4206-206/TR does not specify a formal reverse recovery time (trr) because its monolithic MMSM structure lacks a PN junction with stored charge. Instead, switching is governed by carrier lifetime and RC time constant; typical turn-on/turn-off transitions are <100 ns in properly biased 50 Ω circuits, validated in radar TR switch reference designs using the MPP4206-206/TR.
Is the MPP4206-206/TR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MPP4206-206/TR is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95/EC and features lead-free, gold-plated terminations. The device meets exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature type solders and is qualified for reflow profiles up to 260°C peak, consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1.
What is the meaning of "206" in the MPP4206-206/TR part number?
The "206" suffix in MPP4206-206/TR denotes Microsemi's internal package style code for the SOD-323 footprint with gold metallization and tape-and-reel packaging. It is not a revision code or date code - Style 206 defines mechanical dimensions, terminal configuration, and assembly compatibility, and is shared across the MPP4201–MPP4206 and MPL4700–MPL4701 families.
Can the MPP4206-206/TR be used in anti-parallel configuration like the MPL4702?
No - the MPP4206-206/TR is a single-junction PIN diode intended for series or shunt switching/attenuation. Anti-parallel pairing is not characterized or recommended. The MPL4702 (Style 406) is the only device in this family designed and tested for anti-parallel MRI detuning applications; using MPP4206-206/TR in that topology voids specifications and risks asymmetric RF performance.
