Renesas launches smallest TV tuner with variable capacitance diode for mobile phones

Renesas Technology recently released three TV tuner variable capacitance diodes for mobile phones - RKV650KP, RKV650KN, and RKV650KL. html "target=" -blank "title=" RKV650KL ">RKV650KL. Among them, RKV650KP has a size of only 0.6 × 0.3mm, claiming to be the smallest in the industry. The samples of the new device will be supplied from Japan starting in August 2005. The new device can be used as a digital TV tuner for mobile phones and other devices that receive terrestrial digital TV broadcasts. Sample pricediode

The RKV650KP, which adopts a 0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3mm (typical) package, has reduced its installation area by about 70% compared to previous analog TV tuner models from Renesas Technology, which helps users to miniaturize their systems. These three new products achieve the industry's highest capacitance ratio of 3.5 in the low voltage range of approximately 2.5V (in the case of C 0.5 and C 2.5), and can be used as mobile TV tuners for receiving terrestrial digital TV broadcasts. At the same time, the compromise high-frequency series resistance characteristics have been controlled at 0.5 Ω (under VR=1V, f=470MHz conditions), diode which helps to achieve high sensitivity and low noise.

By adopting a bottom electrode structure, RKV650KP uses the MP6 (Micro Package 6, Renesas Package Code) package, in which the electrode is located on the bottom surface of the package. The RKV650KN adopts a 0.8 × 0.5 × 0.3mm (typical) bottom electrode structure MP8 (micro package 8, Renesas package code) package, and the RKV650KL. html "target=" -blank "title=" RKV650KL ">RKV650KL adopts pin type EFP (extremely small flat lead package, Renesas package code), with a size of 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.47mm (typical).
