DESCRIPTION
This series of silicon tuning varactors have an epitaxial mesa design with a high temperature passivation. This technology is used to produce abrupt tuning varactor in SOT23 package. This family is designed for a low cost medium to high volume market that may be supplied in tape and reel for automated pick and place assembly on surface mount circuit boards. APPLICATIONS
Typical applications include low noise narrow and moderate frequency bandwidth applications (VCO mainly) from HF to Microwave frequencies (up to 3 GHz). Other applications are voltage tuned filters, phase shifters, delay line, etc. NOTE: Variation of the junction capacitance versus reverse voltage follows this equation: Cj (Vr) = Cj (0 V) 1 + Vr φ [ ] γ Vr : φ : γ : Reverse voltage Built-in potential .7V for Si .5 for abrupt tuning varactor 1-32 SALES OFFICES: VISIT OUR WEB SITE AT TUNING VARACTOR Plastic package Surface Mount Silicon abrupt tuning varactor Electrical characteristics at Ta = +25° C Reverse breakdown voltage, Vb = @10 µA: 30 V min.
