When a reverse voltage is applied to a PN junction of varactor diode, the holes in the p-region are attracted to the anode terminal and electrons in n-region are attracted to the cathode terminal of varactor diode, creating a region where there is little charge of either type(the depletion region). This region, the depletion region, is essentially devoid of carriers and behaves as the dielectric of a capacitor. The P and N regions behave as the Capacitors Plates.

Specifications of Varactor Diode

Major varactor diode considerations are:

  • Capacitance value
  • Reverse voltage
  • Variation in capacitance with voltage
  • Maximum reverse working voltage
  • Leakage current
