DATA SHEET
SMV1405-SMV1413 Series: Silicon Abrupt Junction
Varactors, Packaged and Bondable Chips
Applications
VCO applications up to 18 GHz
Voltage tuned filters
Voltage variable phase shifters
Features
High Q
Low series resistance for low phase noise
Multiple chip and hermetic packages
Packages rated MSL1, 260 °C per JEDEC J-STD-020
Description
The SMV1405-SMV1413 group of silicon abrupt junction varactor
diodes is designed for use in Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs)
requiring tight capacitance tolerances. The low resistance of these
varactors makes them appropriate for high-Q resonators in
wireless system VCOs to frequencies up to 18 GHz. This family of
varactors is characterized for capacitance over temperature.
Table 1 lists the various packages and part numbers of the
SMV1405-SMV1413 group of varactors.

Note: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION: Although these devices are designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage them. These
devices must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the
human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all
times. The SMV1405-SMV1413 group of varactors are Class 0 Human Body Model (HBM) ESD devices.

varactors are provided in Table 2. Electrical specifications are
provided in Table 3. Typical capacitance values are listed in
Table 4. Typical performance characteristics of the SMV1405-
SMV1413 varactors are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
The SPICE model for the SMV1405- SMV1413 varactors is shown
in Figure 3 and the associated model parameters are provided in
Table 5.
Package dimensions are shown in Figures 4 to 8. The SMV1405-
SMV1413 series of varactors are not delivered on carrier tapes.
Package and Handling Information
Instructions on the shipping container label regarding exposure to
moisture after the container seal is broken must be followed.
Otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur
when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder
assembly.
The SMV1405- SMV1413 series of varactors are rated to Moisture
Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL1) at 260 °C. They can be used for lead or
lead-free soldering. For additional information, refer to the
Skyworks Application Note, Solder Reflow Information, document
number 200164.
Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is
done manually or in a production solder reflow environment.
Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard
tape and reel format.
