Description:

Aeroflex / Metelics’ MGV Series of tuning Varactor are Gallium Arsenide, Hyperabrupt junctions with constant Gamma 0.75 (MGV-075 series), 1.00 (MGV-100 series) or 1.25 (MGV-125 series). These diodes have high Q (up to 4000 at 4 volts) which allows for high excellent tuning performance from VHF to Ka band. There is a wide range of capacitance values with a 10% capacitance tolerance. Tighter tolerances are available upon request. All devices are available in a variety of ceramic packages and chip form.

Notes:

1. Gamma: ±10% over the range of 2 – 20 volts.
   See Gamma Vs Voltage plot on Data Sheet.
2. Capacitance: nominal tolerance ±10% at -4 volts.
   Tighter tolerances are available upon request.
3. Ratio: Tolerance for the ratio are ±20% and are for die only. For Packaged parts the package capacitance must be added.
4. Q: This is calculated using the capacitance and resistance measured by Slotted Line at -4 volts and 600 MHz, normalized to 50 MHz.
5. See Outline Drawings for package information. Chip is 10mils square.
