Variable Capacitance (Varicaps, Varactors)

Varicaps, also known as varactors, are a type of semiconductor diode used in many applications including radio frequency (RF) design, low noise oscillator systems, and voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs). They are relatively simple devices, consisting of a semiconductor junction between two electrodes, which when biased with a suitable voltage, results in a reverse electric capacitance.

The BB173LXYL is a varicap diode which takes advantage of the carrier concentration in a reverse biased junction to vary the capacitive reactance of an RF circuit. When voltage is applied to the diode, the positive bias creates a carrier concentration gradient in the junction, which alters the electrical properties of the capacitor junction. This creates a high frequency semiconductor capacitance that can be adjusted by the applied voltage, and is therefore capable of accurately interfering with high speed signals.

Applications of BB173LXYL Varicaps

The BB173LXYL is a highly versatile varicap diode, capable of providing extremely accurate frequency control for a variety of applications. It can be used in low noise oscillator systems, such as those used to generate local oscillator signals for FM receivers, and to control the frequency of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), often used in frequency synthesizers. The BB173LXYL is also used in RF tuning systems where high performance frequency control is required, such as those used in cellular phones, cordless phones, and satellite broadcasting systems.

Working Principle of BB173LXYL Varicaps

The BB173LXYL varicap diode works on the principle of reverse capacitance. When voltage is applied to the diode, a carrier concentration gradient is generated in the junction, which changes the capacitance of the junction. This creates a high frequency semiconductor capacitance, which can be accurately adjusted by varying the applied voltage. This results in an extremely accurate frequency control capability, and the ability to accurately tune RF signals.

The BB173LXYL varicap diode is an ideal solution for many applications where high performance frequency control is needed. Its wide range of applications, from low noise oscillators to RF tuning systems, make it a versatile tool for any engineer’s toolbox.
