Description/Applications
These Schottky diodes are specically designed for both
analog and digital applications. This series oers a wide
range of specica tions and package con gura tions to
give the designer wide exi bility. 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 Avago’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 eectively isolates
individual diode branches from the others, allowing ac‑
curate capacitance measurement of each branch or each
diode. The conditions are: 20 mV R.M.S. voltage at 1 MHz.
Avago denes this measurement as “CM”, and it is equiv‑
alent to the capaci tance of the diode by itself. The equiv‑
alent diagonal and adja cent capaci‑tances can then be
calculated by the formulas given below.
In a quad, the diagonal capaci tance is the capacitance be‑
tween points A and B as shown in the gure below. The
diagonal capacitance is calculated using the following

Applications Information
Product Selection
Avagos family of surface mount Schottky diodes provide
unique solutions to many design problems. Each is opti‑
mized for certain applications.
The rst step in choosing the right product is to select the
diode type. All of the products in the HSMS‑282x fami‑
ly use the same diode chip they dier only in package
conguration. The same is true of the HSMS‑280x, ‑281x,
285x, ‑286x and ‑270x families. Each family has a dierent
set of characteristics, which can be compared most easily
by consulting the SPICE parameters given on each data
sheet.
The HSMS‑282x family has been optimized for use in RF
applications, 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.
The other feature of the HSMS‑282x family is its unit‑to‑unit
and lot‑to‑lot consistency. The silicon chip used in this se
ries has been designed to use the fewest possible process‑
ing steps to minimize variations in diode characteristics.
Statistical data on the consistency of this product, in terms
of SPICE parameters, is available from Avago.
For those applications requiring very high breakdown
voltage, use the HSMS‑280x family of diodes. Turn to the
HSMS‑281x when you need very low icker 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 Characteristics
Stripped of its package, a Schottky barrier diode chip con‑
sists of a metal‑semiconductor barrier formed by deposi‑
tion of a metal layer on a semiconductor. The most com‑
mon of several dierent types, the passivated diode, is
shown in Figure 10, along with its equivalent circuit.
RS is the parasitic series resistance of the diode, the sum
of the bondwire and leadframe resistance, the resistance
of the bulk layer of silicon, etc. RF energy coupled into RS
is lost as heat—it does not contribute to the rectied out‑
put of the diode. CJ is parasitic junction capaci tance of the
diode, controlled by the thick‑ness of the epitaxial layer
and the diameter of the Schottky contact. Rj is the junc‑
tion resistance of the diode, a function of the total current
owing through it.
On a semi‑log plot (as shown in the Avago catalog) the
current graph will be a straight line with inverse slope 2.3
X 0.026 = 0.060 volts per cycle (until the eect of RS is seen
in a curve that droops at high current). All Schottky diode
curves have the same slope, but not necessarily the same
value of current for a given voltage. This is deter mined
by the saturation current, IS, and is related to the barrier
height of the diode.
Through the choice of p‑type or n‑type silicon, and the
selection of metal, one can tailor the characteristics of a
Schottky diode. Barrier height will be altered, and at the
same time CJ and RS will be changed. In general, very low
barrier height diodes (with high values of IS, suitable for
zero bias applica tions) are realized on p‑type silicon. Such
diodes suer from higher values of RS than do the n‑type.
IS is a function of diode barrier height, and can range from
picoamps for high barrier diodes to as much as 5 µA for
very low barrier diodes.
The Height of the Schottky Barrier
The current‑voltage character istic of a Schottky barrier
diode at room temperature is described by the following
equation:
where
n = ideality factor (see table of SPICE parameters)
T = temperature in °K
IS = saturation current (see table of SPICE parameters)
Ib = externally applied bias current in amps

2. Raymond W. Waugh, “Designing Large‑Signal Detectors for Handsets and Base Stations, Wireless Systems Design, Vol. 2, No. 7, July 1997, pp 42 – 48.
Thus, p‑type diodes are generally reserved for detector
applications (where very high values of RV swamp out
high RS) and n‑type diodes such as the HSMS‑282x are
used for mixer applications (where high L.O. drive levels
keep RV low). DC biased detectors and self‑biased detec‑
tors used in gain or power control circuits.
Detector Applications
Detector circuits can be divided into two types, large signal
(Pin > ‑20 dBm) and small signal (Pin < ‑20 dBm). In general,
the former use resistive impedance matching at the input
to improve atness over frequency this is possible since
the input signal levels are high enough to produce ade‑
quate output voltages without the need for a high Q reac‑
tive input matching network. These circuits are self‑biased
(no external DC bias) and are used for gain and power
control of ampliers.
Small signal detectors are used as very low cost receivers,
and require a reactive input impedance matching net‑
work to achieve adequate sensitivity and output voltage.
Those operating with zero bias utilize the HSMS‑ 285x
family of detector diodes. However, superior performance
over temperature can be achieved with the use of 3 to 30
µA of DC bias. Such circuits will use the HSMS‑282x family
of diodes if the operating frequency is 1.5 GHz or lower.
Typical performance of single diode detectors (using
HSMS‑2820 or HSMS‑282B) can be seen in the transfer
curves given in Figures 7 and 8. Such detectors can be re‑
alized either as series or shunt circuits, as shown in Figure
11.
The two diodes are in parallel in the RF circuit, lowering
the input impedance and making the design of the RF
matching network easier.
The two diodes are in series in the output (video)
circuit, doubling the output voltage.
Some cancellation of even‑order harmonics takes place
at the input.
Figure 11. Single Diode Detectors.
Figure 12. Voltage Doubler.
The most compact and lowest cost form of the doubler is
achieved when the HSMS‑2822 or HSMS‑282C series pair
is used.
Both the detection sensitivity and the DC forward voltage
of a biased Schottky detector are temperature sensitive.
Where both must be compensated over a wide range of
temperatures, the dierential detector[2] is often used.
Such a circuit requires that the detector diode and the
reference diode exhibit identical characteristics at all DC
bias levels and at all temperatures. This is accomplished
through the use of two diodes in one package, for exam‑
ple the HSMS‑2825 in Figure 13. In the Avago assembly
facility, the two dice in a surface mount package are taken
from adjacent sites on the wafer (as illustrated in Figure
14). This assures that the characteristics of the two diodes
are more highly matched than would be possible through
individual testing and hand matching.

The series and shunt circuits can be combined into a volt‑

However, care must be taken to assure that the two refer‑
ence diodes closely match the two detector diodes. One
possible conguration is given in Figure 16, using two
HSMS‑2825. Board space can be saved through the use of
the HSMS‑282P open bridge quad, as shown in Figure 17.
While the dierential detector works well over tempera‑
ture, another design approach[3] works well for large signal
detectors. See Figure 18 for the schematic and a physical
layout of the circuit. In this design, the two 4.7KΩ resis‑
tors and diode D2 act as a variable power divider, assuring
constant output voltage over temperature and improving
output linearity.
Figure 15. High Power Dierential Detector.
The concept of the voltage doubler can be applied to the
dierential detector, permitting twice the output voltage
for a given input power (as well as improving input im‑
pedance and suppressing second harmonics).

In high power applications, coupling of RF energy from
the detector diode to the reference diode can introduce
error in the dierential detector. The HSMS‑282K diode
pair, in the six lead SOT‑363 package, has a copper bar
between the diodes that adds 10 dB of additional isola‑
tion between them. As this part is manufactured in the
SOT‑363 package it also provides the benet of being 40%
smaller than larger SOT‑143 devices. The HSMS‑282K is il‑
lustrated in Figure 15note that the ground connections
must be made as close to the package as possible to min‑
imize stray inductance to ground.
In certain applications, such as a dual‑band cellphone
handset operating at both 900 and 1800 MHz, the sec‑
ond harmonics generated in the power control output
detector when the handset is working at 900 MHz can
cause problems. A lter at the output can reduce unwant
ed emissions at 1800 MHz in this case, but a lower cost
solution is available[4]. Illustrated schematically in Figure
19, this circuit uses diode D2 and its associated passive
components to cancel all even order harmonics at the de
tectors RF input. Diodes D3 and D4 provide temperature
compensation as described above. All four diodes are con‑
tained in a single HSMS‑ 282R package, as illustrated in
the layout shown in Figure 20.

Both of these networks require a crossover or a three di‑
mensional circuit. A planar mixer can be made using the
SOT‑143 crossover quad, HSMS‑2829, as shown in Figure
22. In this product, a special lead frame permits the cross‑
over to be placed inside the plastic package itself, elimi‑
nating the need for via holes (or other measures) in the RF
portion of the circuit itself.

Note that the forgoing discussion refers to the output volt
age being extracted at point V+ with respect to ground. If
a dierential output is taken at V+ with respect to V‑, the
circuit acts as a voltage doubler.

Mixer applications
The HSMS‑282x family, with its wide variety of packaging,
can be used to make excellent mixers at frequencies up
to 6 GHz.
The HSMS‑2827 ring quad of matched diodes (in the
SOT‑143 package) has been designed for double balanced
mixers. The smaller (SOT‑363) HSMS‑282R ring quad can
similarly be used, if the quad is closed with external con‑
nections as shown in Figure 21.
A review of Figure 21 may lead to the question as to why
the HSMS‑282R ring quad is open on the ends. Distortion
in double balanced mixers can be reduced if LO drive is
increased, up to the point where the Schottky diodes are
driven into saturation. Above this point, increased LO
drive will not result in improvements in distortion. The use
of expensive high barrier diodes (such as those fabricated
on GaAs) can take advantage of higher LO drive power,
but a lower cost solution is to use a eight (or twelve) diode
ring quad. The open design of the HSMS‑282R permits this
to easily be done, as shown in Figure 23.
Figure 23. Low Distortion Double Balanced Mixer.
This same technique can be used in the single‑balanced
mixer. Figure 24 shows such a mixer, with two diodes in
each spot normally occupied by one. This mixer, with a
suciently high LO drive level, will display low distortion.

Sampling Applications
The six lead HSMS‑282P can be used in a sampling circuit,
as shown in Figure 25. As was the case with the six lead
HSMS‑282R in the mixer, the open bridge quad is closed
with traces on the circuit board. The quad was not closed
internally so that it could be used in other applications,
such as illustrated in Figure 17.
Figure 25. Sampling Circuit. Equation (4) is substituted into equation (3), and equa‑
tions (1) and (3) are solved simultaneously to obtain the

Thermal Considerations
The obvious advantage of the SOT‑323 and SOT‑363 over
the SOT‑23 and SOT‑142 is combination of smaller size
and extra leads. However, the copper leadframe in the
SOT‑3x3 has a thermal conductivity four times higher than
the Alloy 42 leadframe of the SOT‑23 and SOT‑143, which
enables the smaller packages to dissipate more power.
The maximum junction temperature for these three fami‑
lies of Schottky diodes is 150°C under all operating condi‑
tions. The following equation applies to the thermal anal‑
ysis of diodes:
Note that θjc, the thermal resistance from diode junction
to the foot of the leads, is the sum of two component re‑
sistances,
θjc = θpkg + θchip (2)
Package thermal resistance for the SOT‑3x3 package is ap
proximately 100°C/W, and the chip thermal resistance for
the HSMS‑282x family of diodes is approximately 40°C/W.
The designer will have to add in the thermal resistance
from diode case to ambient a poor choice of circuit
board material or heat sink design can make this number
very high.
Tj = (Vf If + PRF) θjc + Ta (1)
where
Tj = junction temperature
Ta = diode case temperature
θjc = thermal resistance
VfIf = DC power dissipated
PRF = RF power dissipated
Equation (1) would be straightforward to solve but for the
fact that diode forward voltage is a function of tempera‑
ture as well as forward current. The equation for Vf is:

Diode Burnout
Any Schottky junction, be it an RF diode or the gate of a
MESFET, is relatively delicate and can be burned out with
excessive RF power. Many crystal video receivers used
in RFID (tag) applications nd themselves in poorly con‑
trolled environments where high power sources may
be present. Examples are the areas around airport and
FAA radars, nearby ham radio operators, the vicinity of a
broadcast band transmitter, etc. In such environments,
the Schottky diodes of the receiver can be protected by a
device known as a limiter diode.[5] Formerly available only
in radar warning receivers and other high cost electronic
warfare applications, these diodes have been adapted to
commercial and consumer circuits.
Avago oers a com plete line of surface mountable PIN
limiter diodes. Most notably, our HSMP‑4820 (SOT‑23) can
act as a very fast (nanosecond) power‑sensitive switch
when placed between the antenna and the Schottky di‑
ode, shorting out the RF circuit temporarily and reecting
the excessive RF energy back out the antenna.

SOT-3x3 PCB Footprint
Recommended PCB pad layouts for the miniature SOT
3x3 (SC‑70) packages are shown in Figures 26 and 27 (di‑
mensions are in inches). These layouts provide ample al‑
lowance for package placement by automated assembly
equipment without adding parasitics that could impair
the performance.

SMT Assembly
Reliable assembly of surface mount components is a com‑
plex process that involves many material, process, and
equipment factors, including: method of heating (e.g., IR
or vapor phase reow, wave soldering, etc.) circuit board
material, conductor thickness and pattern, type of solder
alloy, and the thermal conductivity and thermal mass of
components. Components with a low mass, such as the
SOT packages, will reach solder reow temperatures faster
than those with a greater mass.
Avagos diodes have been qualied to the time‑tempera‑
ture prole shown in Figure 28. This prole is representa‑
tive of an IR reow type of surface mount assembly pro
cess.
After ramping up from room temperature, the circuit
board with components attached to it (held in place with
solder paste) passes through one or more preheat zones.

Reow Parameter
Lead-Free Reow Prole Recommendation (IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C)
The preheat zones increase the temperature of the board
and components to prevent thermal shock and begin
evaporating solvents from the solder paste. The reow
zone briey elevates the temperature suciently to pro‑
duce a reow of the solder.
The rates of change of temperature for the ramp‑up and
cool‑down zones are chosen to be low enough to not
cause deformation of the board or damage to compo
nents due to thermal shock. The maximum temperature
in the reow zone (TMAX) should not exceed 260°C.
These parameters are typical for a surface mount assem‑
bly process for Avago diodes. As a general guideline, the
circuit board and components should be exposed only
to the minimum temperatures and times necessary to
achieve a uniform reow of solder.
