MA2SV1500L

Overview

The MA2SV1500L 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. At 1 MHz, the diode capacitance ranges from 7.30 pF at 0.5 V to 3.23 pF at 2.5 V, yielding a typical capacitance ratio of 2.55. The series resistance is specified as 0.45 Ω at 470 MHz. The component utilizes an SSMini2-F2 package with dimensions of 1.7 mm by 0.8 mm.

Feature Summary

• Provides good linearity and large capacitance-ratio in the C_D-V_R relationship
• Features small series resistance r_D for improved performance
• Utilizes an SS-Mini type package allowing downsizing of equipment

Applications

• Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO)
