MAVR-000120-14110G

Overview

The MAVR-000120-14110G is a gallium arsenide flip-chip hyperabrupt varactor diode from MACOM Technology Solutions. It features constant gamma for linear tuning and operates effectively past 70 GHz. The device utilizes OMCVD epitaxial wafers to achieve high uniformity and extremely low parasitics. Electrical specifications include a minimum breakdown voltage of 20 V at 10 µA reverse current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA at 14 V. Total capacitance ranges from 0.30 pF at 0 V bias to 0.14 pF at 10 V bias, measured at 1 MHz. The Q factor reaches 3000 at 4 V and 50 MHz. The component is housed in a surface mount configuration with silicon nitride passivation and polyimide scratch protection.

Feature Summary

• Constant gamma characteristic enables linear tuning across the operating range.
• Flip-chip configuration supports pick-and-place insertion and automated handling.
• Protective coatings prevent junction damage during manual or automated processing.

Applications

• High-frequency RF circuits requiring linear tuning characteristics
• Microwave oscillator designs operating above 70 GHz
• Automated surface mount assembly processes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The '0G' suffix indicates gel pack packaging, which differs functionally from other tape configurations. Confirm that the required package type aligns with the intended manufacturing process. Ensure all technical parameters meet the design requirements prior to purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when linear tuning performance is critical for the application. The constant gamma specification ensures predictable frequency response over the voltage range. Evaluate the low parasitic capacitance and high Q factor for high-frequency efficiency. Consider the flip-chip form factor for compact circuit board layouts and automated assembly compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAVR-000120 series of GaAs flip-chip varactor diodes. The series is designed for high-frequency applications utilizing OMCVD epitaxial material. The '0G' suffix specifically denotes the gel pack packaging variant, distinct from pocket tape options within the same electrical family.

Replacement Considerations

MAVR-000120-14110P serves as an alternative packaging option within the same product family. Verify that the electrical characteristics remain identical when substituting between packaging types. Ensure the mounting process accommodates the specific handling requirements of the replacement package.
