Description
Alpha Industries’ product line of silicon hyperabrupt
junction varactor diode chips are processed using
established ion-implantation technology resulting in low
R
S
wide tuning ratio devices with high Q values. These
planar chips have a small outline size (12 x 12 mils
nominal) and are fully passivated resulting in low
leakage current and high reliability. These varactor chips
are intended for assembly in hybrid integrated circuit
resonators used in VCOs and analog tuned filters.
