TUNING VARACTOR
Description
This series of silicon tuning varactors have an epitaxial m esa design with a high tem perature
passivation. This technology is used to produce abrupt tuning varactor in SOT23 package. This fam ily
is designed for a low cost m edium to high volum e m arket that m ay be supplied in tape and reel
for autom ated pick and place assem bly on surface m ount circuit boards.
Applications
The DH71000 series abrupt tuning varactor are offered in a large selection of capacitance range.
They provide the highest Q factor (low reverse series resistance) available for a 30 volts silicon device.
Typical applications include low noise narrow and m oderate frequency bandwidth applications
(VCO m ainly) from HF to Microwave frequencies (up to 3 GHz). Other applications are voltage tuned
filters, phase shifters, delay line, etc.
