LASERtrim® tuning capacitors are laser adjustable monolithic ceramic surface mount devices for precise functional tuning of RF circuits. LASERtrims® have the high reliability expected of conventional multi-layer chip capacitors and do not experience capacitance drift, flux entrapment and other reliability concerns associated with mechanical trimmers. Excellent post-trim Q and ESR performance are exhibited at frequencies of 100 - 2000 MHz. Offered in chip sizes 1206 and 1210 with nickel barrier terminations and tape and reel packaging, LASERtrims® are compatible with high volume SMT auto-placement and reflow techniques. These high quality, drift-free devices are ideally suited for functional tuning applications in oscillator, filter, and antenna circuits in a variety of wireless RF products.
