Description
The MA4ST300 series are ion-implanted, hy-
perabrupt junction, silicon tuning varactors in SOT-
23, SOT-323, and SOD-323 surface mount pack-
ages. This series of varactors is designed for high
capacitance ratio and low voltage operation. Each
varactor type has a better than 3:1 capacitance ratio
between 0.5V and 3.0V.
1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters
may cause permanent damage.
2. Please refer to application note M538 for surface mounting
instructions
Applications
The MA4ST300 series tuning varactors are useful
for wide band tuning and low phase noise applica-
tions where the supply voltage is limited to 5 volts or
less. These varactors have been specifically de-
signed to cover wireless application bands up to the
2.4 GHz WLAN band. Applications include VCOs
and voltage tuned filters.

Mounting Information
The illustration indicates the recommended
mounting
pad
configuration
for
the
SC-79, SOT-323 and SOD-323 packages. Solder
paste containing flux should be screened onto the
pads to a thickness of 0.005- 0.007 inches. The
plastic package is placed in position, firmly adhering
to the solder paste.
Permanent attachment is performed by a reflow
soldering procedure during which the tab
temperature does not exceed +275
°C
and the body
temperature does not exceed +250
°C,
for standard
models and +260
°C
for the RoHS compliant
devices.
Please refer to Application Note M538 for surface
mounting instructions.
