Philips BB901 VHF Variable Capacitance Diode Datasheet
The BB901 is a VHF variable capacitance diode fabricated with planar technology and encapsulated in a small plastic SOT23 surface‑mount package. It provides excellent linearity and a capacitance of about 1 pF with a ratio of 13.5, making it suitable for electronic tuning in satellite tuners, tunable coupling and VCO applications.
Electrical characteristics include a maximum continuous reverse voltage of 28 V, forward current up to 20 mA, storage temperature range from –55 °C to +150 °C, and operating junction temperature from –55 °C to +125 °C. Typical reverse current is 10 nA at 28 V (25 °C) and 200 nA at 28 V (85 °C). The diode series resistance is about 3 Ω at 100 MHz, and the capacitance varies with reverse voltage as shown in the graphical data.
