Overview
The GC15010-00 is a silicon epitaxial mesa Frequency Linear Tuning Varactor (FLTVAR) designed for wideband linear tuning in VCO and filter applications. It features superior passivation for high reliability, low leakage current, and low surface noise. The device offers Q values well above ion-implanted hyperabrupt diodes and meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive 2002/95/EC. Standard terminal finish is gold unless otherwise specified.
Feature Summary
- Frequency Linear Tuning
- Very Low Phase Noise
- Exceptional Q
- Computer Controlled Grown Junction Epitaxy
- Functional through Ku Band
- Octave Tuning
Applications
- VCOs
- Filters
- Modulators
- Amplifiers
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific package style required for your application, as the base model number corresponds to different packaging options. The standard terminal finish is gold. Consult the factory for special requirements or non-standard packages. Ensure ESD precautions are used during handling due to component sensitivity.
Selection Notes
Select based on capacitance at -4V (-10%) and typical Q at 50 MHz. For the GC15010-00, Cj is 10.0 pF with a typical Q of 700. Sensitivity is 0.11. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and maximum leakage current of 50 nA at 20 Volts when designing circuits.
Part Context
This component belongs to the GC15000 series of frequency-linear tuning varactors from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). The series includes models ranging from GC15001 to GC15013, offering various capacitance values and tuning ratios suitable for Ku band applications.
Replacement Considerations
Direct substitutes within the same family include GC15009-00 and GC15011-00, which share similar characteristics but differ in capacitance and Q factor. Verify electrical parameters against datasheet specifications before substitution.
