Low capacitance RF Schottky diodes

With their exceedingly low capacitance (< 1 pF), these diode families are very well suited to all high frequency applications, in particular communications devices such as mobile phones where designers use them specifically for the gain control stages in the RF part of a phone. Some devices have a capacitance 94% lower than an industry standard BAT54, or less than one third of existing low capacitance diodes such as the BAS40 -all achieved with no trade off in breakdown voltage specification.
