Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status as some sources indicate this part may be obsolete. Confirm package availability and lead times through authorized distributors. Ensure compatibility with existing RF front-end designs before procurement. Check for updated documentation regarding the Parascan series specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise RF impedance matching within the 700 MHz to 2.7 GHz range. Consider the 2.7 pF fixed value and 2 V operating limit when designing circuits. Evaluate the WLCSP form factor for space-constrained mobile implementations. Compare against other Parascan variants if different capacitance values are required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Parascan tunable integrated capacitor series from STMicroelectronics. It is categorized under RF and Wireless semiconductors. The device serves as a passive tuning element in radio frequency signal paths, replacing traditional discrete variable capacitors to save board space and improve reliability in compact electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

The STPTIC-15L2C4 is a comparable variant within the same series. Verify if the 1.5 pF capacitance value meets specific circuit requirements instead of the 2.7 pF provided by the STPTIC-27L2C4. Ensure interface and package compatibility remain consistent during substitution.
