Varactor diodes, also known as varicap diodes or tuned diodes, are diode type semiconductor components that offer an adjustable capacitance. This component is useful in the modulation of radio frequency signals for the tuning of circuits with changing frequency values, due to its adjustable capacitance. The BB545E7904HTSA1 is one such component, and this article provides information about its application field and working principle.

Varactor Diode Characteristics

A varactor diode is made up of a semiconductor material with a highly doped p-type and n-type regions. The varactor diode is operated in reverse bias. This means that the anode terminal is connected to the p-type region and the cathode terminal is connected to the n-type region. This arrangement creates a high electric field across the junction and gives rise to the built-in potential across the junction.

The reverse bias applied to the varactor diode results in the formation of a depletion region, which is a region devoid of charge carriers. This depletion region acts as an insulating barrier that does not permit charge carriers to cross. According to the depletion layer capacitance phenomenon, the depletion layer acts as a dielectric between the two conductors, thus generating a capacitance value between them.

The capacitance of the varactor diode is determined by the depletion region thickness, i.e. the width of the barrier. When the reverse bias voltage is varied, the width changes and so does the depletion layer capacitance.

Working Principle of the BB545E7904HTSA1Varactor Diode

The BB545E7904HTSA1 is a varactor diode that exhibits a capacitance range of 128 to 1020 pF. This capacitance range is achieved when a reverse bias voltage of 4.5 to 6.5 volts is applied across the terminals. This range of the capacitance is possible due to the proprietary semiconductor material used in the construction of the diode. This material is optimized to provide high breakdown voltage and low reverse leakage current.

When the diode is in the reverse bias condition, the width of the depletion layer, i.e. the capacitance of the diode, depends on the applied reverse bias voltage. When the bias voltage is increased, the depletion layer width decreases, resulting in a decrease in the capacitance of the varactor diode. And when the reverse bias voltage is decreased, the depletion layer width increases, resulting in an increase in the capacitance of the diode.
