Notes:

1. Case parasitics (Cp and Ls) are given for most case styles along with case outlines in the appendix. The Cp values listed typically have tolerances of ±0.02 pF.

2. The values guaranteed for gamma are measured on unpackaged

chips. The total capacitance versus bias voltage curve will deviate

slightly from the chip capacitance versus bias voltage curve due to the package parasitic capacitance (Cp).

3. Capacitance is measured at 1 MHz.

4. Reverse voltage (VB) is measured at 10 microamps.

5. The total capacitance and capacitance ratios shown are for diodes housed in case style 30. Other case styles will result in different values.
