Description/Applications
These Schottky diodes are
specifically designed for both
analog and digital applications.
This series offers a wide range of
specifications and package
configurations to give the
designer wide flexibility. Typical
applications of these Schottky
diodes are mixing, detecting,
switching, sampling, clamping,
and wave shaping. The
HSMS-282x series of diodes is the
best all-around choice for most
applications, featuring low series
resistance, low forward voltage at
all current levels and good RF
characteristics.
Note that Agilent’s manufacturing
techniques assure that dice found
in pairs and quads are taken from
adjacent sites on the wafer,
assuring the highest degree of
match.

Quad Capacitance
Capacitance of Schottky diode
quads is measured using an
HP4271 LCR meter. This
instrument effectively isolates
individual diode branches from
the others, allowing accurate
capacitance measurement of each
branch or each diode. The
conditions are: 20 mV R.M.S.
voltage at 1 MHz. Agilent defines
this measurement as “CM”, and it
is equivalent to the capacitance of
the diode by itself. The equivalent
diagonal and adjacent capaci-
tances can then be calculated by
the formulas given below.
In a quad, the diagonal capaci-
tance is the capacitance between
points A and B as shown in the
figure below. The diagonal
capacitance is calculated using

Applications Information
Product Selection
Agilent’s family of surface mount
Schottky diodes provide unique
solutions to many design prob-
lems. Each is optimized for
certain applications.
The first step in choosing the right
product is to select the diode type.
All of the products in the
HSMS-282x family use the same
diode chip – they differ only in
package configuration. The same
is true of the HSMS-280x, -281x,
285x, -286x and -270x families.
Each family has a different set of
characteristics, which can be
compared most easily by consult-
ing the SPICE parameters given
on each data sheet.
The HSMS-282x family has been
optimized for use in RF applica-
tions, such as
DC biased small signal
detectors to 1.5 GHz.
Biased or unbiased large
signal detectors (AGC or
power monitors) to 4 GHz.
Mixers and frequency
multipliers to 6 GHz.
need very low flicker noise. The
HSMS-285x is a family of zero bias
detector diodes for small signal
applications. For high frequency
detector or mixer applications,
use the HSMS-286x family. The
HSMS-270x is a series of specialty
diodes for ultra high speed
clipping and clamping in digital
circuits.
Schottky Barrier Diode Char-
acteristics
Stripped of its package, a
Schottky barrier diode chip
consists of a metal-semiconductor
barrier formed by deposition of a
metal layer on a semiconductor.
The most common of several
different types, the passivated
diode, is shown in Figure 10,
along with its equivalent circuit.
R
S
is the parasitic series resis-
tance of the diode, the sum of the
bondwire and leadframe resis-
tance, the resistance of the bulk
layer of silicon, etc. RF energy
coupled into R
S
is lost as heat—it
does not contribute to the recti-
fied output of the diode. C
J
is
parasitic junction capacitance of
the diode, controlled by the thick-
ness of the epitaxial layer and the
diameter of the Schottky contact.
R
j
is the junction resistance of the
diode, a function of the total
current flowing through it.

the following equation:

The other feature of the
HSMS-282x family is its
unit-to-unit and lot-to-lot consis-
tency. The silicon chip used in this
series has been designed to use
the fewest possible processing
steps to minimize variations in
diode characteristics. Statistical
data on the consistency of this
product, in terms of SPICE
parameters, is available from
Agilent.
For those applications requiring
very high breakdown voltage, use
the HSMS-280x family of diodes.
