Philips Semiconductors Product specification
Dual-gate MOS-FETs BF908; BF908R
FEATURES
• High forward transfer admittance
• Short channel transistor with high forward transfer
admittance to input capacitance ratio
• Low noise gain controlled amplifier up to 1 GHz.
APPLICATIONS
• VHF and UHF applications with 12 V supply voltage,
such as television tuners and professional
communications equipment.
DESCRIPTION
Depletion type field-effect transistor in a plastic
microminiature SOT143 or SOT143R package. The
transistors are protected against excessive input voltage
surges by integrated back-to-back diodes between gates
and source.
CAUTION
The device is supplied in an antistatic package. The
gate-source input must be protected against static
discharge during transport or handling.
