To meet this requirement devices can be supplied tested into capacitance bands at the 2V condition. Each ( TA ) reel will contain 3000 devices carrying only diodes tested into a single band and each device will have a partmark identifying the capacitance band which they meet. As this is a final test measurement customers will not have the option to specify a capacitance at the time of ordering and will be obliged to accept the band into which the devices are tested. - Purchase orders can be placed in multiples of 3000 units / reel for device type FSD270TA - Samples can be obtained from Zetex Plc quoting device type #FSD270TA MIN.

In practice radio frequency oscillations in the tracking filters can drive the single diode into conduction on peaks increasing the bias voltage and giving rise to undesirable harmonics. Common-cathode variable capacitance diodes are used to overcome this problem. The FSD270 dual common cathode device in the space saving SOT23 package has been optimized for this application. Zetex application note AN9 covers our range of variable capacitance diodes and their applications in detail. Digital audio is set to dominate car radio and other mobile radio applications. Most of the required functions can be achieved with a single integrated circuit. One parts of the circuit that are not integrated are the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) used in the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) channel selection circuit and the tracking filters. Figure 1 shows the FSD270 dual variable capacitance diode (also known as varactor or tuner diode) in a DAB application. Figure 1.
