Description
The SMV1800-079LF 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 SMV1800-079LF include low-noise and
wideband UHF and VHF VCOs for GSM, PCS, CDMA, and analog
phones. Table 1 describes the package and marking of the
SMV1800-079LF varactor.

Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
Attention: Observe Precautions for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
ESD Man-Machine (MM) Model = 400 V (ClassC)
ESD Human Body Model (HBM) = 8 kV (Class 3B)
ESD Charged Device Model (CDM) = 2 kV (Class 4)
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device, which must be protected from ESD at all times. Static
charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge
without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
