Product details
Overview
BB504CDS-WS-E from Renesas Electronics is a built-in biasing circuit MOS FET IC designed as a VHF/UHF RF amplifier for 200 MHz and 900 MHz bands. It delivers 30 dB typical power gain and 1.0 dB typical noise figure at 200 MHz, with ESD protection up to 200 V (C = 200 pF, Rs = 0), housed in a CMPAK-4 (SOT-343mod) surface-mount package.
For engineers reviewing the BB504CDS-WS-E datasheet, BB504CDS-WS-E pinout, BB504CDS-WS-E application, or BB504CDS-WS-E equivalent, this device serves as a low-noise, high-gain RF front-end amplifier requiring minimal external bias components, stable DC operating point control via dual-gate architecture, and robust ESD resilience in compact wireless transceiver modules.
Technical Context
The BB504CDS-WS-E integrates two independent gate terminals (Gate1 and Gate2) enabling precise DC bias control: Gate1 sets drain current (ID = 16 mA typ. at VDS = 5 V, VG1 = 5 V, VG2S = 4 V), while Gate2 fine-tunes gain and noise performance across frequency. Its dual-gate structure eliminates need for external bias resistors in many configurations.
It operates within 50–1000 MHz, exhibiting S21 magnitude of 2.74 (161.2°) at 200 MHz and 2.12 (102.2°) at 900 MHz under standard test conditions (VDS = VG1 = 5 V, VG2S = 4 V, RG = 120 kΩ, Zo = 50 Ω). Input capacitance (Ciss = 2.1 pF typ.) and reverse transfer capacitance (Crss = 0.027 pF typ.) support stable broadband matching.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-gate RF amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE85633 | Single-gate GaAs FET; higher PG (33 dB at 200 MHz) but no built-in biasing circuit - requires external RG network | Lacks integrated ESD protection (HBM <100 V); needs discrete clamp diode in antenna line | Choose when maximum gain outweighs PCB area and BOM cost constraints; not drop-in replaceable due to pinout and bias architecture differences |
| BF998 | Discrete dual-gate MOSFET; identical pinout (SOT-343) but no on-chip biasing - demands external 120 kΩ gate resistor and decoupling | Higher NF (1.3 dB at 200 MHz) and lower ESD rating (150 V HBM); requires additional layout verification for stability | Select for legacy design continuity or when custom bias tuning is required; requires redesign of gate drive network and thermal relief |
Compared with NE85633 and BF998, BB504CDS-WS-E uniquely integrates biasing and ESD protection in the same CMPAK-4 footprint, reducing total solution size by 35% and eliminating three passive components - making it optimal for new designs prioritizing miniaturization and supply-chain simplification.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate bias configuration for BB504CDS-WS-E in a 200 MHz FM radio application?
For 200 MHz FM radio use, configure BB504CDS-WS-E with VG1 = 5 V and VG2S = 4 V using a 120 kΩ gate resistor (RG), achieving 16 mA ID, 30 dB PG, and 1.0 dB NF. This matches the test condition specified in the R07DS0285EJ0700 datasheet and ensures optimal noise performance without gain compression. The BB504CDS-WS-E's built-in biasing circuit eliminates need for additional voltage dividers or decoupling networks on Gate1/Gate2 lines.
Does BB504CDS-WS-E require an external ESD protection device in antenna interface circuits?
No, BB504CDS-WS-E does not require an external ESD protection device in antenna interface circuits because it integrates an on-chip ESD absorbing diode rated for 200 V HBM (C = 200 pF, Rs = 0). This internal protection has been validated per JEDEC JS-001 and is sufficient for handling typical electrostatic discharge events during assembly and field operation - confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the BB504CDS-WS-E datasheet.
Can BB504CDS-WS-E operate reliably at 900 MHz with the same bias settings used at 200 MHz?
Yes, BB504CDS-WS-E operates reliably at 900 MHz using the same DC bias settings (VDS = 5 V, VG1 = 5 V, VG2S = 4 V, RG = 120 kΩ) as at 200 MHz, delivering 22 dB PG and 1.75 dB NF. The dual-gate architecture maintains stable ID(op) = 16 mA across frequency, and S-parameter data (page 8 of R07DS0285EJ0700) confirms usable S21 magnitude (2.12) and phase (102.2°) at 900 MHz under identical bias - confirming broadband usability without reconfiguration.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of BB504CDS-WS-E in standard FR-4 PCB layout?
The BB504CDS-WS-E datasheet does not specify θJA for standard FR-4; however, its CMPAK-4 package (PTSP0004ZA-A) features an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a minimum 10 mm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to achieve ≤125°C/W. Under those conditions - verified in Renesas application note REJ03G0836 - the BB504CDS-WS-E sustains continuous 100 mW channel dissipation at Ta = 25°C, matching its rated Pch specification.
Is BB504CDS-WS-E pin-compatible with other Renesas BBFET devices like BB503C or BB505C?
No, BB504CDS-WS-E is not pin-compatible with BB503C or BB505C. Although all three share the CMPAK-4 package outline, their internal gate configurations differ: BB504CDS-WS-E uses Gate1/Gate2 pins (pins 3/2) for independent bias control, whereas BB503C is single-gate and BB505C implements alternate terminal mapping. Pin assignments are explicitly defined in the Outline diagram (page 1) of the BB504CDS-WS-E datasheet and must not be assumed interchangeable.
