HVC369BTRF-E

Overview

The HVC369BTRF-E is a single variable capacitance diode (varactor) manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. Designed for surface mount applications, this component features a nominal reverse voltage rating of 15 V and is housed in a compact 2-UFP package with dimensions of 1.4 x 1.85 x 1.05 mm. It operates as a general-purpose varactor with a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW and a typical voltage temperature coefficient of 0.09%/°C. The device supports a maximum operating temperature of +150 °C and includes a test current specification of 5 mA.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction utilizing the 2-UFP package for efficient board space utilization
• Adjustable capacitance characteristics optimized for efficient power transfer applications
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to +150 °C

Applications

• RF circuit tuning and matching networks
• Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs)
• Frequency modulation circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' against official Renesas documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and lead-free manufacturing standards. Ensure the 2-UFP footprint matches your PCB layout requirements precisely. Confirm that the 15 V reverse voltage rating aligns with your circuit's peak operational limits to prevent breakdown. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure availability of the most recent electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required for RF tuning applications. The 2-UFP package offers a compact solution compared to larger through-hole alternatives. Consider the 15 V rating when designing circuits with high voltage swings. Evaluate the thermal performance at +150 °C if operating in high-temperature environments. Compare the voltage temperature coefficient against other varactors if frequency stability across temperature ranges is critical.
