SVC710-TL-E

Overview

The SVC710-TL-E is a single varactor diode designed for Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) applications. It operates with a maximum reverse voltage of 15 V and exhibits a low reverse current of 20 nA at 15 V. The device provides an interterminal capacitance ranging from 3.5 pF to 4.8 pF at 4.0 V reverse bias, and 18.5 pF to 21.5 pF at 1.0 V. It achieves a capacitance ratio of 4.8 and maintains a series resistance of 1.6 Ω at 100 MHz. Packaged in the MCPH3 form factor, it supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C.

Feature Summary

• High capacitance ratio for effective frequency tuning
• Low voltage drive capability
• Small-sized MCPH package

Applications

• Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO)
• Frequency modulation circuits
• Tuning elements in RF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TL-E confirms the tape-and-reel packaging format containing 3,000 pieces per reel. Ensure the component designation matches the MCPH3 package type and JEITA/JEDEC SC-70 or SOT-323 standards. Confirm that the Pb Free status aligns with environmental compliance requirements for the intended assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high capacitance ratio is required for stable VCO performance under low voltage drive conditions. The MCPH3 package is suitable for space-constrained designs. Verify that the operating reverse voltage remains within the 15 V limit and that the junction temperature stays below 150 °C during operation.
