MA2SV0500L

Overview

The MA2SV0500L is a silicon epitaxial planar variable capacitance diode designed for voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) applications. It operates with a maximum reverse voltage of 6 V and a junction temperature rating of 150 °C. The device exhibits a typical diode capacitance of 20.5 pF at 1 V reverse bias and 4.1 pF at 4 V reverse bias, both measured at 1 MHz. This configuration yields a capacitance ratio of 4.7 between the two bias points. The component features a low series resistance of 0.65 Ω at 470 MHz and utilizes an SS-Mini type package.

Feature Summary

• Good linearity and large capacitance-ratio in C D − VR relation
• Small series resistance r D
• SS-Mini type package, allowing downsizing of equipment and automatic insertion through the taping package

Applications

• Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO)
