The BA595/BA885/BA895 are three silicon PIN diodes, which are current-controlled RF resistors for switching and attenuating applications. They have a frequency range of 1MHz-2GHz, and are especially useful as antenna switches in TV-sat tuners. They have very low harmonics.
The BA595, BA885 and BA895 are silicon PIN diodes designed for RF switching and attenuation in TV‑satellite tuners, offering low harmonics and a frequency range from 1 MHz to 2 GHz. They are supplied in SOT‑23, SCD80 and OD323 packages and are intended for antenna‑switch applications.
Key specifications include a reverse voltage rating of 50 V, forward current of 50 mA, junction temperature up to 150 °C, and an operating temperature range of –55 °C to 125 °C. Electrical characteristics such as diode capacitance, reverse current, forward voltage, and permissible pulse loads are provided for each device variant.
