Description
The MA4ST300 series are ion-implanted, hy-
perabrupt junction, silicon tuning varactors in SC79,
SC70 3LD, and SOD-323 surface mount packages.
This series of varactors is designed for high capaci-
tance ratio and low voltage operation. Each varactor
type has a better than 3:1 capacitance ratio between
0.5V and 3.0V.
1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters
may cause permanent damage.
2. Please refer to application note M538 for surface mounting
instructions
Applications
The MA4ST300 series tuning varactors are useful
for wide band tuning and low phase noise applica-
tions where the supply voltage is limited to 5 volts or
less. These varactors have been specifically de-
signed to cover wireless application bands up to the
2.4 GHz WLAN band. Applications include VCOs
and voltage tuned filters.

Mounting Information
The illustration indicates the recommended mounting
pad configuration for the SC-79, SC70 3LD and
SOD-323 packages. Solder paste containing flux
should be screened onto the pads to a thickness of
0.005- 0.007 inches. The plastic package is placed
in position, firmly adhering to the solder paste.
Permanent attachment is performed by a reflow
soldering procedure during which the tab
temperature does not exceed +275
°C
and the body
temperature does not exceed +250
°C,
for standard
models and +260
°C
for the RoHS compliant
devices.
Please refer to Application Note M538 for surface
mounting instructions.
