Product details
Overview
BB555 E7902 from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon hyperabrupt tuning diode in SC79 package, designed for UHF-TV tuner VCO and RF filter frequency control. It delivers 14.01 pF typical capacitance at 2 V, 8.9 typical capacitance ratio (CT₁/CT₂₈), and 0.6 nH series inductance - enabling precise, low-loss resonance tuning in compact TV front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BB555 E7902 datasheet, BB555 E7902 pinout, BB555 E7902 application, or BB555 E7902 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 V reverse voltage rating, <0.75 Ω series resistance at 470 MHz, ±2.5% capacitance matching across 4-diode sequences, and RoHS-compliant Pb-free construction for broadcast receiver designs.
Technical Context
This hyperabrupt junction varactor operates with voltage-dependent capacitance optimized for linear C–V response in UHF band (300–3000 MHz). Its low LS (0.6 nH) and rS (typ. 0.58 Ω) minimize parasitic phase shift and insertion loss in resonant tank circuits.
The diode exhibits stable capacitance vs. temperature (±2% over –55°C to +150°C at VR = 1 V) and tight matching (≤2.5% ∆CT/CT across 4-device sequences), supporting factory-trimmed tuner modules without individual calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capacitance @ 2 V | 14.01 pF typical - sets center frequency of UHF VCO tanks with predictable tuning slope |
| Capacitance Ratio CT₁/CT₂₈ | 8.9 typical - enables >3-octave tuning range in single-diode resonator designs |
| Series Inductance (LS) | 0.6 nH - limits self-resonance above 3 GHz, preserving Q-factor in 470–862 MHz TV bands |
| Series Resistance (rS) | 0.58 Ω typical @ 470 MHz - maintains loaded Q >100 in 50 Ω impedance-matched filters |
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 30 V max - supports wide-tuning-range biasing in analog TV tuner supply rails |
| Capacitance Matching (∆CT/CT) | ≤2.5% over 4-diode sequence - allows batch replacement in multi-section bandswitched filters |
Pinout & Package
SC79 package: ultra-small surface-mount plastic case (1.3 × 0.7 × 0.5 mm), cathode-marked top-side dot, single anode/cathode configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | DC bias input / AC ground reference | Connected to fixed DC potential; serves as RF ground node in series-tuned configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar tuning diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BB555-02V | Identical electrical specs; same SC79 package but laser-marked "B" instead of "BB555 E7902" | No functional difference - used interchangeably in NXP's tuner reference designs | Select when sourcing from standard distribution reels (8,000 pcs/reel, 2 mm pitch) |
| BB535 | Higher capacitance (17.5 pF @ 1 V), lower CT₁/CT₂₈ (8.2 min), same LS/rS, SOD323 package (larger footprint) | Suitable for VHF-dominant tuners; requires PCB pad redesign due to SOD323 vs. SC79 | Choose only if legacy board reuse mandates SOD323 or higher initial C is needed for <200 MHz operation |
Compared with BB555-02V, BB555 E7902 offers identical RF performance but distinct date-code marking (E7902 = week 79, 2002); versus BB535, it trades 3.5 pF lower C₁ for tighter UHF matching and 30% smaller footprint - critical for modern miniaturized TV modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for BB555 E7902?
The absolute maximum reverse voltage is 30 V at TA = 25°C, with a peak reverse voltage of 35 V for short-duration pulses (R ≥ 5 kΩ). Exceeding 30 V DC risks irreversible junction breakdown and permanent capacitance drift, especially above 85°C where IR rises to 200 nA.
Does BB555 E7902 require external temperature compensation in UHF tuner designs?
No - its normalized capacitance variation is limited to ±2% over –55°C to +150°C at VR = 1 V, and its temperature coefficient (TCC) remains below 10⁻³/°C across 1–25 V. This stability eliminates need for thermistor networks or digital calibration in most broadcast tuner implementations.
Can BB555 E7902 be substituted with BB555-02V in existing PCB layouts?
Yes - BB555-02V shares identical SC79 package dimensions, pinout, and electrical specifications. The only difference is marking ("B" vs. "BB555 E7902") and reel packaging (8,000 pcs/reel for -02V vs. custom E7902 reels). No layout or schematic changes are required.
What is the significance of the "in-line matching assembly procedure" cited in the datasheet?
This proprietary NXP process groups diodes from the same wafer lot and adjacent die positions, then tests and bins them sequentially to guarantee ≤2.5% ∆CT/CT across 4-device sequences. It enables plug-and-play replacement in multi-section tuners without post-assembly capacitance trimming or binning.
