Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a capacitance that can be varied by changing the applied voltage. These types of diodes often are used for ...

How does a varactor diode work? To form the PN junction that makes a diode, half the piece is doped with a trace amount of “donor atoms” that have one more electron than the intrinsic stuff to make ...

Specifically designed for 3V platforms, the new SMV1763-079 silicon hyperabrupt junction varactor diode features a high-capacitance ratio and low-reserve voltage, making it well-suited for low-phase ...

There are 8 different types of diodes that are available for use in electronics design. The various types of diodes enable different kinds of application specifications to be met. As a result of the ...
