Low-Voltage / High Q Si Hyperabrupt Varactors MA4ST200 Series MA4ST200 Series Low-Voltage / High Q Si Hyperabrupt Varactors Features • Configurations Surface Mount Packages (SOT-23, SOT-323, SOD-323) High Q at Low Voltages High Capacitance Ratio at Low Voltages SPC Process for Superior C-V Repeatability Available as Single and Common Cathode Pairs Tape and Reel Packaging Designed for Commercial Wireless Applications • • • • • • TOP VIEW (SOT-23, SOT-323) Description M/A-COM’s MA4ST200 series is a ion-implanted, hyperabrupt junction, silicon tuning varactors in SOT-23, SOT-323, and SOD323 surface mount packages. This series of varactors is designed for high Q and low voltage operation. Each varactor type has a Q greater than 400 at -2 V. Single Double TOP VIEW (SOD-323) Applications The MA4ST200 series tuning varactors are useful for wide band tuning and low phase noise applications where the supply voltage is limited to 5 volts or less. These varactors have been specifically designed for use in the wireless communications up to the 2.4 GHz band. Applications include VCOs and voltage tuned filters.

When ordering, specify the desired case style by adding the case designation (287 for SOT-23, 1146 for SOT-323, 1141 for SOD-323) as a suffix to the model number. For example, MA4ST230-1141 specifies the MA4ST230 varactor in the SOD-323 package. The model number indicated is for a single varactor. Common cathode pairs are available in SOT-23 package, and are specified by adding “CK” to the end of the model number. For example MA4ST230CK-287 specifies the MA4ST230 varactor in common cathode pairs. M/A-COM Division of AMP Incorporated Q North America: Tel.
