Variable Capacitance Diode
Description
The 1T405A is a variable capacitance diode
designed for electronic tuning of wide-band CATV
tuners using a super-small-miniature flat package
(SSVC).
High capacitance ratio (C25/C28) is improved to
support guard band.
Features
• Super-small-miniature flat package
• Low series resistance 0.85 Ω Max. (f=470 MHz)
• Large capacitance ratio 12.5 Typ. (C2/C25)
1.03 Min. (C25/C28)
• Small leakage current 10 nA Max. (VR=28 V)
• Capacitance deviation within 2 %
