DATA SHEET SMV1801-079LF: Hyperabrupt Junction Tuning Varactor Applications VHF TV tuners VCOs Features Cross to NXPs BB182 Low series resistance Description High capacitance ratio The SMV1801-079LF is a silicon hyperabrupt junction varactor Ultra-small SC-79 package (MSL1, 260 C per diode specifically designed for battery operation. The specified JEDEC J-STD-020) high capacitance ratio and low series resistance make this varactor appropriate for low phase noise Voltage-Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) used at frequencies in wireless systems up to and above 2.5 GHz. Applications for the SMV1801-079LF include low-noise and wideband UHF and VHF VCOs for GSM, PCS, CDMA, and analog phones. Table 1 describes the package and marking of the SMV1801-079LF varactor. Table 1. Packaging and Marking Single SC-79 Green SMV1801-079LF Marking: Cathode LS = 0.7 nH The Pb-free symbol or LF in the part number denotes a lead-free, RoHS- compliant package unless otherwise noted as Green. Tin/lead (Sn/Pb) packaging is not recommended for new designs. Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device. Attention: Observe Precautions for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive Devices ESD Man-Machine (MM) Model = 400 V (Class C) ESD Human Body Model (HBM) = 8 kV (Class 3B) ESD Charge Device Model (CDM) = 2 kV (Class 4) Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device, which must be protected from ESD at all times. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
