Key Features

This Precision Laser Trimmed Capacitor (PLTC) provides an excellent solution

for applications requiring precision tunable capacitance in a surface mount

LGA package. It has been designed with stable SiON dielectric in combination

with finely tunable capacitor ladder structures.

In contrast to traditions mechanically trimmed capacitors, PLTCs offer

extremely stable low profile (Z) design.

• Solder terminated LGA precision capacitors on

glass on silicon substrate

• Laser Trimmed to <0.05pF

• LGA trimmed in factory to user defined value

• Frequency of operation < 500 MHz

• 0.02pF Capacitance Trim Steps

• Typical voltage rating: < 150V

• Non-magnetic

• MRI Coils

• Instrumentation

• Sensors

• Transducers

• Industrial

• Military

• Up to 500 MHz
