Military and Space Applications
All Mircosemi's RF Diodes can be hermetically sealed to meet the most stringent military or space requirements and can be combined to include several functions in a single high reliability package. Typical of these integrated packages are switch/limiters, limiter/detectors, switch matrices and switched filters.Integration
Integrated packages can provide higher performance benefits at lower cost than by designing with individual components. To assure the engineering expertise that will attain your desired performance levels, Microsemi only provides assemblies where we can control the high-risk components. In that way, Microsemi is able to develop custom packaging that meets your most demanding specifications.Ongoing Standard and Custom Development
Microsemi continues to develop low cost surface mount PIN and Limiter solutions which offer performance more often associated with expensive chip and wire bonding assemblies. They are available in several reflow friendly configurations which allow the customer new opportunities for economical designs. Microsemi also can offer a significant number of existing configurations to minimize your NRE and provides many customers with microwave components no longer available from their original suppliers. Microsemi's extensive library of products and designs gives us the ability to respond quickly with solutions to meet your needs, quickly and cost effectively.Resources
