Low-Capacitance Varactors Suit WCDMA/UMTS Apps

Targeting WCDMA and UMTS applications, the IMT-2000 varactors feature low series resistance for low phase noise and low capacitance, making them suitable for applications up to 2.5 GHz. Three recommended models for such applications include the SMV1232-079, SMV1263-079 and the SMV1405-079. Manufactured in the ultra-small SC-79 package for reduced parasitics, the devices are available in tape and reel for high-volume, low-cost applications. Pricing is $0.19 each/250,000.
