Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant and tape-and-reel specifications against the official datasheet before ordering. Ensure compatibility with the target RF frequency range and required capacitance tuning span. Confirm that the 4-FlipChip form factor aligns with the PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm current production status and any potential obsolescence notices prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, tunable solution is needed for frequencies between 700 MHz and 2.7 GHz. Consider its low-power profile for battery-operated devices. Evaluate the 0.85 pF to 2.7 pF tuning range against the specific impedance matching requirements of the application. Ensure the FlipChip package fits the available board space and assembly capabilities.
