CLA4608-085LF

The CLA4608-085LF is a type of RF diode found in a variety of applications. It is typically used in RF applications that require fast switching operation or voltage and current control. In addition, the CLA4608-085LF is also suitable for power supply design, general amplifier, and even radar applications.

The CLA4608-085LF diode is a Schottky Barrier diode. A Schottky Barrier diode is formed when a metal, usually alloys like tungsten or molybdenum, is placed in contact with semiconductor material. Together, these semiconductor and metal contact form a junction with a very small barrier and very low turn-on voltage usually around 0.2-0.3V, which has high switching speeds and a low forward voltage drop.

The CLA4608-085LF diode is a 15V device with a fast switching speed and low leakage current. It has a typical on-state resistance of around 0.3 ohms and can handle peak currents of up to 2A. When reversely biased, this diode exhibits extremely low reverse currents. In addition, this diode also has an extremely low temperature coefficient, which helps in maintaining its performance over time.

These properties make the CLA4608-085LF diode a popular choice in applications with high-frequency signals or switching operations when a fast response is needed. The low reverse voltage and low forward voltage drop in each direction also make it suitable for applications where current and voltage control is desired. CLA4608-085LF diodes are used in a variety of communications, audio, and power supply applications such as automatic gain control circuits, filter circuits, and limiter circuits.

The CLA4608-085LF diode is also well suited for use in radar systems where its low turn-on voltage, fast switching speed, and low leakage current properties can prove to be beneficial. Its low junction capacitance, which helps reduce power consumption, is an advantage in high-frequency applications and its low thermal coefficient helps ensure performance over a wide temperature range.

Overall, the CLA4608-085LF is a versatile Schottky Barrier diode that can be used in a wide range of RF applications. Its properties that include low forward voltage drop, fast switching speed, and low leakage make it a good choice for applications that require precise current and voltage control, fast switching operation, or power supply design. The CLA4608-085LF is also well suited for use in radar systems and other high-frequency applications where its low junction capacitance and low thermal coefficient are particularly beneficial.
