MML4402-GM2

MML4402-GM2	Product Status Sampling

Overview

There are two principle applications for which the MML4400 series are intended:

1) MRI receiver protection from high RF energy fields, including long RF pulses and RF spike pulses present in most MRI machines. The MML4400 series acts as a passive protector (limiter) for the MRI receiver’s LNA. The diode assembly exhibits extremely low insertion loss, both in the “on” state (high power present) and the “off” state (receiver power present) so the Receiver’s Noise Figure is not increased by the protector circuit.

2) Passive switching of surface coil detuning and blocking circuits. In this case, the flow of loop current during transmitter pulse turns on the diodes, without a switch driver.

The MML4400 series can be combined with a PIN diode (UM7201SM) and the combination can be used to implement a semi-active detune or block circuit design. The MML4400’s turn on the PIN diode (used for higher power switching) during the sinc(x) sidelobes, before the main pulse of the transmitter waveform, sinc(x) = [sin (x)]/x, occurs.

This surface mount limiter meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive 2011/65/EC and 2002/95 EC.
