TCP-4112UB
1.2 pF Passive Tunable
Integrated Circuits (PTIC)
Introduction
ON Semiconductor’s PTICs have excellent RF performance and
power consumption, making them suitable for any mobile handset or
radio application. The fundamental building block of our PTIC
product line is a tunable material called ParaScant, based on Barium
Strontium Titanate (BST). PTICs have the ability to change their
capacitance from a supplied bias voltage generated by the Control IC.
The 1.2 pF ultra−high tuning PTICs are available as wafer-level chip
scale packages (WLCSP).

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

ASSEMBLY CONSIDERATIONS AND REFLOW PROFILE
The following assembly considerations should be observed:
Cleanliness
These chips should be handled in a clean environment.
Electro-static Sensitivity
ON Semiconductor’s PTICs are ESD Class 1B sensitive.
The proper ESD handling procedures should be used.
Mounting
The WLCSP PTIC is fabricated for Flip Chip solder
mounting. Connectivity to the RF and Bias terminations on
the PTIC die is established through SAC305 solder balls
with 65
mm
nominal height (45
mm
to 85
mm
height
variation). The PTIC die is RoHS-compliant and compatible
with lead-free soldering profile.
Molding
The PTIC die is compatible for over-molding or
under-fill.
Figure 6. Reflow Profile
ORIENTATION OF THE PTIC FOR OPTIMUM LOSSES
When configuring the PTIC in your specific circuit
design, at least one of the RF terminals must be connected
to DC ground. If minimum transition times are required, DC
ground on both RF terminals is recommended. To minimize
losses, the PTIC should be oriented such that RF2 is at the
lower RF impedance of the two RF nodes. A shunt PTIC, for
example, should have RF2 connected to RF ground.
