Such a circuit offers several advantages. First the voltage
outputs of two diodes are added in series, increasing the
overall value of voltage sensitivity for the network (com-
pared to a single diode detector). Second, the RF imped-
ances of the two diodes are added in parallel, making
the job of reactive matching a bit easier. Such a circuit
can easily be realized using the two series diodes in the
HSMS-285C.
Flicker Noise
Reference to Figure 5 will show that there is a junc-
tion of metal, silicon, and passivation around the rim
of the Schottky contact. It is in this three-way junction
that flicker noise
reduce the sensitivity of a crystal video receiver utiliz-
ing a Schottky detector circuit if the video frequency is
below the noise corner. Flicker noise can be substantially
reduced by the elimination of passivation, but such
diodes cannot be mounted in non-hermetic packages.
p-type silicon Schottky diodes have the least flicker noise
at a given value of external bias (compared to n-type
silicon or GaAs). At zero bias, such diodes can have
extremely low values of flicker noise. For the HSMS-285x
series, the noise temperature ratio is given in Figure 14.
Diode Burnout
Figure 14. Typical Noise Temperature Ratio.
Noise temperature ratio is the quotient of the diode’s
noise power (expressed in dBV/Hz) divided by the noise
power of an ideal resistor of resistance R = R
For an ideal resistor R, at 300°K, the noise voltage can be
computed from
which can be expressed as
Thus, for a diode with R

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 find themselves in poorly
controlled 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.
able only in radar warning receivers and other high cost
electronic warfare applications, these diodes have been
adapted to commercial and consumer circuits.
Avago offers a complete line of surface mountable
PIN limiter diodes. Most notably, our HSMP-4820 (SOT-
23) can act as a very fast (nanosecond) power-sensi-
tive switch when placed between the antenna and the
Schottky diode, shorting out the RF circuit temporar-
ily and reflecting the excessive RF energy back out the
antenna.

SOT-323 PCB Footprint
A recommended PCB pad layout for the miniature SOT-
323 (SC-70) package is shown in Figure 15 (dimensions
are in inches). This layout provides ample allowance for
package placement by automated assembly equipment
without adding parasitics that could impair the perfor-
mance. Figure 16 shows the pad layout for the six-lead
SOT-363.
