Product details
Overview
UM7501F from Microsemi is a high-voltage, low-leakage RF power PIN diode designed for microwave switch and attenuator circuits in MRI and CAT scan systems. It features 200 V reverse voltage rating, <0.5 µA reverse current at rated voltage, 0.8–1.0 Ω series resistance at 100 MHz/50 mA, 2.5–3.5 µs carrier lifetime, and hermetic fused-in-glass construction.
For engineers reviewing the UM7501F datasheet, UM7501F pinout, UM7501F application, or UM7501F equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse voltage margin for pulsed RF switching, thermal resistance in stud-mount configurations, harmonic distortion performance at 100 MHz, and compatibility with automatic insertion equipment in medical imaging subsystems.
Technical Context
The UM7501F employs a fully passivated silicon PIN structure with precisely controlled 100 µm I-region width to ensure stable reverse characteristics and low distortion. Its metallurgically bonded, thermally matched construction enables reliable operation up to +175 °C junction temperature and supports high-power RF duty cycles.
It delivers low forward-series resistance (0.8–1.0 Ω) and high parallel resistance (>100 kΩ at 100 V), enabling efficient RF signal routing in transmit/receive (T/R) modules. Reverse bias harmonic distortion exceeds 60 dBc at 100 MHz, meeting stringent linearity requirements in diagnostic imaging front-ends.

| Reverse Current | <0.5 µA at 200 V - ensures minimal signal leakage and low intermodulation distortion |
| Series Resistance | 0.8–1.0 Ω at 100 MHz/50 mA - determines insertion loss in RF path when forward-biased |
| Carrier Lifetime | 2.5–3.5 µs - balances switching speed and low distortion in broadband attenuators |
| I-Region Width | 100 µm - engineered for optimal trade-off between breakdown voltage and RF resistance |
| Forward Voltage | 0.8–1.0 V at 50 mA - sets control current requirement for driver circuit design |

Manufacturer
Microsemi (now part of Microchip Technology) is a U.S.-based semiconductor company specializing in high-reliability analog and RF components for aerospace, defense, and medical applications.
The UM7500 series was developed to deliver rugged, high-voltage PIN diodes for mission-critical RF switching in diagnostic imaging and radar systems where thermal stability and low distortion are non-negotiable.
FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for UM7501F?
The UM7501F has a specified reverse voltage rating of 200 V at 0.5 µA leakage current. This rating is validated per MIL-STD-750 test methods and applies under steady-state DC or peak RF conditions. Exceeding 200 V may cause irreversible breakdown. The UM7501F datasheet confirms this value in the Voltage Ratings table on Page 1.
Does UM7501F require heatsinking in typical RF switch applications?
Yes - UM7501F is rated for 10 W power dissipation only when mounted to a 25 °C stud temperature, per Absolute Maximum Ratings. In continuous RF switching, thermal management via stud mounting to a heatsink is essential. Free-air operation limits dissipation to 1.5 W, making heatsinking mandatory for >1 W average RF power handling.
Is UM7501F RoHS compliant?
No - UM7501F is not RoHS compliant. It uses traditional leaded glass sealing and metallurgy. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, Microsemi specifies the UMX7501B variant, which maintains identical electrical and thermal performance while meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
What is the typical series resistance of UM7501F at 100 MHz?
The typical series resistance (RS) of UM7501F is 0.8–1.0 Ω when measured at 100 MHz and 50 mA forward bias, as confirmed in the Electrical Parameters table on Page 2 of the UM7500 datasheet. This value directly impacts insertion loss in RF switch paths and is stable across temperature due to metallurgically bonded construction.
Can UM7501F be used in surface-mount assemblies?
No - UM7501F is packaged in Style B (axial lead, fused-in-glass), not surface-mount. Microsemi offers the "SM" style for SMT use, but UM7501F specifically corresponds to Style B. For surface-mount equivalents, consider UM7501SM or UMX7501SM, which share the same 200 V rating and electrical specs but differ in footprint and termination.
