Renesas Technology Corp. today announced the RKV5000DKK, RKV5010DKK, and RKV5020DKK ultra-compact (1.0 × 0.6 mm) variable capacitance diodes (varicap diodes) for use in TV / VCR tuners for mobile ...
Young electronics hackers today are very fortunate to grow up in an era with both a plethora of capable devices to stimulate their imagination, and cheap and ready access to them. Less than the price ...
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 ...
Discrete RF Devices Drive DTV Tuner Rollout To help meet the Federal Communications Commission requirement for digital television (DTV) tuners in new television sets, designers can look to a new line ...
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 ...
