Designed to control the frequency of crystal oscillator circuits, the 3022 series of high-ratio, hyperabrupt varactor tuning diodes is designed to deliver a dc bias control voltage from -0.3V to -4V.

How does a varactor diode work? To form the PN junction that makes a diode, half the piece is doped with a trace amount of “donor atoms” that have one more electron than the intrinsic stuff to make ...

With a tuning range from 0.5V to 2.5V, the ZV950 series of hyperabrupt varactor diodes meets the requirements of 3V frequency control and filtering systems. The diodes are reported to be characterized ...

The varactor diode capitalizes on the properties of the depletion layer of a p-n diode. Under reverse bias, the carriers in each region-holes in the p type and electrons in the n type-move away from ...
