MPV21004-206/TR

Overview

The MPV21004-206/TR is a silicon varactor diode manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is designed for non-hermetic applications and utilizes the MMSM surface-mount package. The component functions as a voltage-controlled capacitor, where capacitance varies with applied reverse bias voltage. This characteristic makes it suitable for tuning circuits in radio frequency systems. The device is supplied in a tape and reel format to facilitate automated assembly processes.

Feature Summary

• Voltage-dependent capacitance for RF tuning
• Non-hermetic construction for standard environments
• Surface-mount MMSM package for compact integration

Applications

• RF oscillator tuning circuits
• Voltage-controlled filters
• Phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical parameters against the official Microchip datasheet before design finalization. Confirm that the MMSM package dimensions match the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the non-hermetic rating aligns with the operational environmental conditions of the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a silicon varactor with MMSM packaging is required for RF tuning applications. Consider the non-hermetic nature if the operating environment lacks moisture or corrosive agents. Compare capacitance-voltage characteristics with alternative devices to ensure compatibility with the circuit design specifications.
