MA46 Series Surface Mount GaAs Tuning Varactors 0.75, 1.25, & 1.5 Gamma Hyperabrupt Features Gamma Hyperabrupt Junctions: 0.75, 1.25 and 1.5 Surface Mount Packages Very High Quality Factor Capacitance Ratio to 10:1 Case Style 1056 is Hermetic and may be Screened to JANTX levels Tape and Reel Packaging Available Rev. V8 Common Case styles 1056 1088 Description MACOM offers three families of low cost surface mount gallium arsenide tuning varactors. All families have silicon nitride protected junctions for low leakage current and high reliability. The MA46H070 through MA46H073 family has hyperabrupt junctions with constant gamma of 0.75 from 0 to 20 volts and very high quality factor approaching that of abrupt junction varactors, but higher capacitance change versus tuning voltage. These diodes are very well suited for narrow bandwidth VCOs and VTFs where wide tuning range and very high quality factor are required. The MA46H200 through MA46H204 family has hyperabrupt junctions with constant gamma of 1.25 from 2 to 20 volts and has the largest capacitance ratio of the families of GaAs varactors and high quality factor. These diodes are very well suited for wide bandwidth VCOs and VTFs where the optimum combination of very wide tuning range and high quality factor is required. The MA46H500 through MA46H504 family has hyperabrupt junctions with constant gamma of 1.5 from 2 to 12 volts and high quality factor. Designed for wide bandwidth VCOs and VTFs where limited bias voltage is available. These varactors have lower quality factor than the other families of GaAs varactors.

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). 4. The Cp values listed typically have tolerances of 0.02 pF. 5. Capacitance is measured at 1 MHz. 6. The total capacitance and capacitance ratios shown are for diodes housed in case style 30. Other case styles will result in different values. 7. When ordering MA46H202-134 as whole wafer P/N is MAVR-0046202-0134WR. 2 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
