STPTIC Overview
Description
The ST integrated tunable capacitor, offers excellent RF performance, low power consumption and high linearity required in adaptive RF tuning applications. The fundamental building block of PTIC is a tunable material called Parascan, which is a version of barium strontium titanate (BST) developed by Paratek microwave.
