Description
M/A-COM’s MA4ST2000 series is a highly repeatable,
UHCVD/ion-implanted, hyperabrupt silicon tuning varactor
in a cost effective surface mount package. This series of
varactors is designed for high capacitance ratio for low
battery voltage operation. It is efficient for wide band
tuning and low phase noise application where the supply
voltage is limited to 5 volts or less. Varactors in this series
have a typical 18:1 capacitance ratio between 0.1 V and
4.7 V and a 12:1 ratio between 0.1 V and 2.7 V. The
Varactors are offered as Singles in both SC-79 and SOD-323
configurations with Common Cathode version offered in a
SC-70, 3 Lead.
