ENHANCED PERFORMANCE SURFACE MOUNT

EPSM™Hyperabrupt Varactor Diodes

TM

®

DESCRIPTION

Our EPSM packaged devices are designed for the most demanding

commercial and Military requirements where the inconsistent

performance inherent in plastic surface mount packages cannot be

tolerated. These package styles extend the surface mount

construction format to 6 GHz for high performance wireless

applications. Select varactors from three families of C/V curves for

designs through 6 GHz. They are available in multiple chip

configuration as well as outlines which directly replace SOT23 and

SOD323 devices. Other devices and values are always available.

Contact our applications engineering department for more details.

APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS



High Performance Wireless

Surface Mount Options for

GSM, TAGS, WANS, PCS



Wideband VCO applications



Voltage Tuned Filters



VCXOs

APPLICATIONS

Specify EPSM package style 450A or 454. For 3 terminal style 454,

refer to configuration page. Example: GC1503-454-4 is a common

cathode pair of abrupt junction varactors with 1.5 pF capacitance

@4V (per device); for the 2 terminal style 450A, refer to the outline

dimension table. Example: GC1503-450A is a single abrupt junction

varactor with 1.5 pF capacitance at 4V in an 0604 footprint.
