Renesas Technology Corp. recently announced the launch of two varicap diodes for adjustable antennas used in portable and mobile terminals with digital terrestrial broadcasting capabilities:
High Capacitance Variation Ratio under Low Voltage Conditions (RKV653KP and RKV653KL)
The RKV653KP uses the MP6 (MicroPackage6, Renesas package code) and achieves an extremely small size of 0.6mm × 0.3mm by utilizing a bottom-side electrode structure located underneath the package.
Product features: groove and field stop technology Low collector to transmitter saturation voltage
Some varactor diodes have one end marked with black, which indicates the cathode,
A varactor diode is an electronically variable capacitor.
