FEATURES
q q q q q MA46410 thru 480 Series V3.00 Case Styles Constant Gamma = 1.0, 1.25 or 1.5 High Q (up to 4000 at -4 Volts) Larger Capacitance Change with Voltage More Linear Frequency Tuning High and Nearly Constant Modulation Sensitivity DESCRIPTION
The standard capacitance tolerance is ±10%, with tighter tolerances available. Capacitance matching at one or more bias voltages is also available. All diode types are available in a wide selection of ceramic packages and in chip form. 30 277 TYPICAL JUNCTION CAPACITANCE vs TUNING VOLTAGE APPLICATIONS
The constant gamma value of 1.0, 1.25 or 1.5 available with these diodes enables the circuit designer to produce significant improvements in circuit performance. Constant gamma tuning varactors permit more linear VCO frequency tuning than do conventional hyperabrupt tuning varactors. These varactors are particularly well suited for use in voltage tuned filters, analog phase shifters, and modulator circuits.
