830 series

Silicon 25V hyperabrupt varactor diodes

ZC829, ZDC833, ZMV829, ZMDC830 and ZV831

Description
A range of silicon varactor diodes for use in
frequency control and filtering. Featuring
closely controlled CV characteristics and high
Q. Low reverse current ensures very low phase
noise performance. Available in single or dual
common cathode format in a wide rage of SOT23 SOT323
miniature surface mount packages.

Features
• Close tolerance CV characteristics
• High tuning ratio
• Low IR (typically 200pA)
SOD523 SOD323
• Excellent phase noise performance
• High Q
• Range of miniature surface mount packages

Applications
• VCXO and TCXO
• Wireless communications
• Pagers
• Mobile radio

Where steeper CV slopes are required there is the 12V hyperabrupt range:
ZC930, ZMV930, ZV930 and ZV931
