Typical Performance Curves
Notes:
1. Capacitance is measured at 1 MHz on a bridge which has been
balanced with shielded test holders connected in place but open cir-
cuited.
2. All GaAs tuning varactors are available in any case style shown in
this bulletin as well as in chip form. When ordering, specify the desired
case by adding the case designation as a suffix to the model number,
i.e., MA46601-30. For example, a MA46601-30 specifies a 30 volt
tuning diode in a case style 30 with a CT14 between .36 and .44 pF and
a Q at -4 volts and 50 MHz ≥7500. The capacitance values and capaci-
tance ratios are for case style 30. Other case styles or chips will have
slightly different values.
3. All junctions are abrupt i.e., y = 0.50 ± .03.
4. Total capacitance ratios will vary with case choice due to differences
in case capacitance (Cp). Figure 1 shows the ratio for the 30 case
style.
5. Case parasitics (Cp and Ls) are given for most case styles.
