VARACTOR DIODES

Surface Mount MMSM

TM

®

DESCRIPTION

The MPV series of surface mount Varactor diodes utilizes a unique

new monolithic fabrication technology. This technology employs

package / device integration accomplished at the wafer fabrication

level. Since the cathode and anode interconnections utilize

precision photolithographic techniques rather than wire bonds,

parasitic package inductance is minimized and tightly controlled.

The package parasitics provide smooth non-resonant functionality

through 8 GHz. These devices are available in tape and reel format

as well as in expanded sawed wafers on Mylar film frames for low

cost automatic insertion.

This series of diodes meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive

2002/95/EC. Consult the factory for details.

APPLICATIONS

MPV1965 is an ideal choice for low voltage and battery powered

microwave VCOs, VCXO’s, voltage variable filters, and analog phase

shifters.

MPV2100 is an ideal choice for wide bandwidth, low noise linear VCOs

through 8 GHz. It is also ideal for microwave voltage variable filters and

analog phase shifters.
