The DME2284 from Skyworks is a space-qualified silicon beam-lead Schottky diode designed for high-frequency mixer and detector applications across the 12.4–18 GHz band. It provides a forward voltage range of 350–450 mV and supports up to 100 mA of forward current, enabling low-noise, high-linearity operation in microwave circuits. 

This diode features a maximum power dissipation of 75 mW per junction, a total capacitance of 0.25 pF, and a junction resistance of up to 13 ohms, delivering low parasitic behavior essential for stable RF performance. It offers a reverse breakdown voltage of up to 3 V and is packaged in a rugged ceramic-chip format for precise integration into microwave assemblies.

Built to withstand harsh space environments, the DME2284 meets stringent screening requirements for radiation, thermal cycling, and mechanical shock typical of orbital missions. Its beam-lead construction enhances electrical repeatability and long-term stability. This diode is ideal for microwave integrated circuits (MICs), mixers, detectors, frequency conversion stages, and spaceborne RF instrumentation requiring a reliable, low-capacitance Schottky device.
