Diodes Offer Linearly Variable Capacitance

Designed for use in low-power communication equipment, the KV18xx Series of variable-capacitance diodes is available in a reverse voltage range of 1V, 4V, 6V, 8V, 10V and 25V. All devices feature a large capacitance ratio and capacitance that is very linear to the reverse voltage range.The devices are offered in two- or three-pin URD SMT packages that can operate over a temperature range of -50°C to 105°C. Forward current is rated at 10 mA (absolute maximum). Applications include cellular phones, multi-channel cordless phones, toys, test equipment, hearing aids, keyless entry systems, and video cameras. Parts are available on tape-and-reel. Delivery is from stock.
