Diodes, also known as semiconductor diodes, are fast switching, current-regulating elements widely used in all sorts of electronics. Diodes are generally divided into two categories: RF (Radio Frequency) and DC (Direct Current).The type of diode here in question is an example of a RF diode and specifically, we are discussing the CDB7619-000.

First of all, the general application of a RF diode is to provide a switch between two paths of a circuit, preventing them from interfering with each other and to attenuate, or block, any unwanted signals from travelling through the RF path. As these radio frequency diodes are of the small-signal variety, they are often used in analog and digital systems that require high-frequency circuits to be switched with low power.

The CDB7619-000 is specifically designed for use within base station systems or automotive, communication and instrumentation equipment. These applications all require switching capabilities of high-frequency but with low power. Due to its small-signal properties, this diode can be used within the MHz range and can typically work within a frequency range from 0.5 - 2 GHz and from 2 - 4 GHz. In addition, this particular diode has a minimum isolation passage that is of 70 dB.

The inner workings of the CDB7619-000 RF diode can be broken down into four distinct steps and in a logical order. Firstly it is important to note that the two paths that the RF diode is switching between do not have the same voltage potential. One path is at a much higher voltage than the other, thus making way for the second step and that is the rectification of the alternating current (AC). This is done via the parasitic capacitance of the PN junction of the diode, that when acted on by a potential difference, will allow the flow of current only in one direction, converting said AC into direct current (DC).

This DC is then fed into the third step which is called an electromagnetic field, flowing over a coil wrapped around the PN junction. This electromagnetic field flow will then not only induce a voltage nothing between the paths of the diode but also maintain the operating temperature of the diode, an important part of its operation. Finally, step four is the process of the alternating current passing through the electromagnetic field, which allows for the switch between the two paths to be activated.

In conclusion, the CDB7619-000 is a RF diode that is designed for applications such as base station systems, automotive equipment and communication as well as instrumentation systems. It is a small-signal diode, with the most notable characteristic being it can switch high frequencies but with low power. Mechanically, the diode operates in four steps with the most fundamental being the rectification of the AC into DC, followed by the induction of an electromagnetic field over the PN junction enabling the alternating current to pass freely through.
