N-channel dual gate MOS-FETs
FEATURES
•
Specially designed for use at 5 V
supply voltage
•
Short channel transistor with high
transfer admittance to input
capacitance ratio
•
Low noise gain controlled amplifier
up to 1 GHz
•
Superior cross-modulation
performance during AGC.
APPLICATIONS
•
VHF and UHF applications with
3 to 7 V supply voltage such as
television tuners and professional
communications equipment.
DESCRIPTION
Enhancement type field-effect
transistors. The transistors consist of
an amplifier MOS-FET with source
and substrate interconnected and an
internal bias circuit to ensure good
cross-modulation performance during
AGC.
The BF904A, BF904AR and
BF904AWR are encapsulated in the
SOT143B, SOT143R and SOT343R
plastic packages respectively.
