DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex / Metelics MTV4090 Series Tuning
Varactors are silicon abrupt junction devices. They
offer the highest Q and lowest resistance available in
90 volt tuning devices.
A unique silicon passivation process assures greater
stability, reliability, and low leakage currents at
higher temperatures.
.
Features
• Low Series Resistance
• High Q
• Extensive Selection of Capacitance Values
Rating Limits Units
Operating Temperature -55 to +150 °C
Storage Temperature -65 to +200 °C
Device Dissipation 250 mW
ESD & MSL Ratings Class 0 (Human Body Model) & MSL1
Maximum Ratings
Applications
The MTV4090 Series Tuning Varactors are used for both narrow and wide band tuning through X-band.
These devices are used in circuits requiring a high Q voltage variable capacitance such as tunable filters
and amplifiers, voltage controlled oscillators, frequency synthesizers, and continuous phase shifters. They
are also useful as frequency and phase modulators in communications applications.
