MA27V0200L

Overview

The MA27V0200L is a silicon epitaxial planar variable capacitance diode designed for Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) applications. It features good linearity and a large capacitance ratio in the CD-VR relationship, alongside small series resistance. The device operates within a reverse voltage of up to 6 V and a junction temperature of 125 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a typical diode capacitance of 20.0 pF at 1 V and 9.0 pF at 4 V (measured at 1 MHz). The capacitance ratio (CD(1V)/CD(4V)) typically reaches 2.6. Series resistance is specified as 0.3 Ω at 4 V and 470 MHz.
