Manufactured and sold by ON Semiconductor and based on a Paratek technology the TCP-3027 is a tunable RF capacitor of 2.7pF. The tunable RF capacitor has a better quality factor (Q) than the standard varactor diode. The TCP-3027 is a passive tunable integrated capacitor (PTIC) packaged in a WLCSP measuring 0.87 x 0.71mm. The tunability is due to the material called ParaScan™ by Paratek. A Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) doped ceramic is used as a dielectric in the capacitor. The ferroelectric characteristics of the ParaScan™ allows a large variation of the electric constant. Paratek has developed a specific capacitor structure and a DC bias compensation to reduce the parasitic acoustic wave. This reverse costing report provides an estimation of the production cost of the TCP-3027. It describes the overall manufacturing process and highlights key points of innovation developed by Paratek and ON Semiconductor and a comparison between the products of STMicroelectronics and ON Semiconductor manufactured from Paratek’s license .

DISCLAIMER : System Plus Consulting provides cost studies based on its knowledge of the manufacturing and selling prices of electronic components and systems. The given values are realistic estimates which do not bind System Plus Consulting nor the manufacturers quoted in the report.

The reverse costing analysis is conducted in 3 phases:
Teardown analysis
• Package is analyzed and measured• The dies are extracted in order to get overall data: dimensions, main blocks, pad number and pin out, die marking• Setup of the manufacturing process.
Costing analysis
• Setup of the manufacturing environment• Cost simulation of the process steps
Selling price analysis
• Supply chain analysis• Analysis of the selling price
Reverse costing analysis represents the best cost/price evaluation given the publically available data, and estimates completed by industry experts.
Given the hypothesis presented in this analysis, the major sources of correction would lead to a +/- 10% correction on the manufacturing cost (if all parameters are cumulated)
These results are open for discussion. We can reevaluate this circuit with your information. Please contact us:
