Diamond Rf™ Resistives: The Answer to High Power and Low Capacitance

A single 0402 resistor, manufactured on a CVD diamond substrate, can dissipate 20 W of continuous electrical energy and 200 W of pulsed energy. This provides great flexibility to the design engineer, who is continually asked to reduce size and increase...
The technology in this article is used in the high power Diamond Rf™ Resistives—resistors, terminations and attenuators—from EMC Technology. These components demonstrate excellent electrical and thermal performance due to the high thermal conductivity of the CVD diamond substrate material, which results in a component size reduction for a given...
