Description
The MA48700 series of Gallium Arsenide
Abrupt Junction Multiplier Varactors is
specifically designed to provide single state,
high order multiplication at output frequencies
extending to approximately 100 GHz. All
varactors in this series are available in either
package or chip form. The cathode is the heat
sink end of the package.
Applications
1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters
may cause permanent damage
CASE STYLES
This series of Gallium Arsenide Multiplier
Varactors is intended for medium power
harmonic generation with high conversion
efficiency. These diodes may be used to double
or triple the frequency output of a phase locked
source for millimeter wave radar and
communication systems for local oscillators and
transmitters.

Notes:
1. Junction capacitance (Cj0) is measured at 1 MHz and 0 volts on a
bridge which has been balanced with a shielded test holder connected
in place, but open circuited.
2. Cutoff frequency measurements (FC0) are made at 0 volts and
then extrapolated to -6 volts. See curve of Figure 1 showing typical
FC - 6 (cutoff at - 6 volts) versus FC0 (cutoff at 0 volts) performance
curve.
3. Available in the case styles 30, 92, 94, 95, 120, 126, 128 and 166.
When ordering, specify the case style by adding the case style
number as a suffix to the basic part number.
4. Nominal package parasitics (Cp and Ls) are given for each case
style with the outline drawing in the appendix section.
† Reference Application Note M538 for lead-free solder reflow recommendations.
Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
