6.8 pF Passive Tunable
Integrated Circuits (PTIC)
Introduction
ON Semiconductors PTICs have excellent RF performance and
power consumption, making them suitable for any mobile handset or
radio application. The fundamental building block of our PTIC
product line is a tunable material called ParaScant, based on Barium
Strontium Titanate (BST). PTICs have the ability to change their
capacitance from a supplied bias voltage generated by the Control IC.
The 6.8 pF PTICs are available as wafer-level chip scale packages
(WLCSP).
Key Features
High Tuning Range and Operation up to 20 V
Usable Frequency Range: from 700 MHz to 2.7 GHz
High Quality Factor (Q) for Low Loss
High Power Handling Capability
Compatible with PTIC Control IC TCC-10x, 20x
WLCSP Package: 0.652 x 1.134 x 0.285 mm (12 bump)
These devices are Pb−Free and RoHS Compliant
Typical Applications
Multi-band, Multi-standard, Advanced and Simple Mobile Phones
Tunable Antenna Matching Networks
Tunable RF Filters
Active Antennas

ASSEMBLY CONSIDERATIONS AND REFLOW PROFILE
The following assembly considerations should be observed:
Cleanliness
These chips should be handled in a clean environment.
Electro-static Sensitivity
ON Semiconductors PTICs are ESD Class 1A sensitive.
The proper ESD handling procedures should be used.
Mounting
The WLCSP PTIC is fabricated for Flip Chip solder
mounting. Connectivity to the RF and Bias terminations on
the PTIC die is established through SAC305 solder balls
with 65 mm nominal height (45 mm to 85 mm height
variation). The PTIC die is RoHS-compliant and compatible
with lead-free soldering profile.
Molding
The PTIC die is compatible for over-molding or
under-fill. Figure 6. Reflow Profile
ORIENTATION OF THE PTIC FOR OPTIMUM LOSSES
When configuring the PTIC in your specific circuit
design, at least one of the RF terminals must be connected
to DC ground. If minimum transition times are required, DC
ground on both RF terminals is recommended. To minimize
losses, the PTIC should be oriented such that RF2 is at the
lower RF impedance of the two RF nodes. A shunt PTIC, for
example, should have RF2 connected to RF ground.
