SMV1272-079LF

Hyperabrupt Junction Tuning Varactor


The SMV1272-079LF is a silicon hyperabrupt junction varactor diode specifically designed for battery operation. The specified high-capacitance ratio and low-series resistance make this varactor appropriate for low phase-noise Voltage-Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) used at frequencies in wireless systems up to and above 2.5 GHz.

Applications for the SMV1272-079LF include low-noise and wideband UHF and VHF VCOs for GSM, PCS, CDMA, and analog phones. Table 1 describes the packaging and marking of the SMV1272-079LF varactor.
