HVU316TRU-E

Overview

The HVU316TRU-E is a silicon variable capacitance diode manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for electronic tuning applications in BS and CS tuners. This component operates as a voltage-controlled capacitor, where the junction capacitance varies with the applied reverse bias voltage. It is housed in a compact surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly processes. The device is engineered to provide stable performance across the required frequency ranges for satellite broadcasting tuner circuits.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for electronic tuning in BS and CS tuner applications
• Provides variable capacitance characteristics controlled by reverse bias voltage
• Utilizes silicon technology for reliable semiconductor performance

Applications

• BS (Broadcasting Satellite) tuner circuits
• CS (Communication Satellite) tuner circuits
• Electronic tuning modules requiring voltage-variable capacitance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TRU-E against official Renesas documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure the component matches the intended tuner application requirements for BS/CS bands. Check for any recent product change notifications or lifecycle status updates directly from the manufacturer before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing BS or CS tuner circuits that require a silicon variable capacitance diode. Confirm that the electrical specifications, particularly capacitance range and Q-factor, align with the local oscillator circuit design. Verify package compatibility with the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

The HVU316 series belongs to Renesas' portfolio of variable capacitance diodes used in tuner ICs. The HVU316TRU-E is a specific variant within this family, distinguished by its packaging and handling specifications. It serves as a critical passive component in the frequency selection stage of satellite receiver front-ends.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Renesas variants such as HVC316 or HVD316 if pinout and electrical parameters match. Verify compatibility with Hitachi Semiconductor equivalents like HVC317B only after confirming detailed datasheet alignment.
