Description

A Frequency Linear Tuning Varactor (FLTVAR)TM is a silicon epitaxial mesa device, designed to provide wideband Linear Tuning in VCO and filter applications. These diodes feature thermal oxide passivation for high reliability, low leakage current, and very low surface noise.

Key Features

  • thermal oxide passivation for high reliability, low leakage current, and very low surface noise
  • They offer Q values well above ion-implanted hyperabrupt diodes
  • The specifications below apply to chips, or to chips mounted on carriers
  • suitable circuits, with no need for external linearization
  • The bination of high Q and low surface noise results in low FM noise in VCO applications
  • They are particularly useful in modulated VCO’s because of their constant sensitivity, and high modulation rate capability
  • ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS: TA=25°C
