Description
The MA4ST550 family of high Q Silicon Hyperabrupt
Tuning Varactors is available in a series of low parasitic
capacitance microwave packages or in chip form.
The MA4ST550 series of diodes is available with junction
capacitances of approximately 0.8 pF to 8.2 pF at -4 volts.
These diodes have capacitance change ratios as high
as 7:1.

Applications
The MA4ST550 series is appropriate for use in VCOs with
frequencies within the range of approximately 1-14 GHz
where a large capacitance change is required. These
diodes are suited for VCOs in missile seekers, telecommunication systems and electronic warfare systems with
critical post tuning drift specifications.

Environmental Performance
All tuning varactors in ceramic packages are capable of
meeting the performance tests dictated by the methods
and procedures of the latest revisions of MIL-S-19500, MILSTD-202 and MIL-STD-750 which specify mechanical,
electrical, thermal and other environmental tests common
to semiconductor products.

Notes:
1. The standard case style is 30. Other packages and chips shown at the
bottom of this page are available. When ordering, specify the desired
case style by adding the case designation as a suffix to the model
number, i.e. MA4ST552-134 is a 15 X 15 mil chip diode. See appendix
for complete dimensions.
2. Capacitance is measured at 1 MHz.
3. The total capacitance values shown are for devices housed in case
style 30. Other case styles will result in different values due to different
case parsasitics. Case parasitics (CP and LS) are given for available
case styles along with the outline drawings in the appendix.
