Product details
Overview
BB689 E7902 from Infineon Technologies is a silicon tuning diode (varactor) designed for VHF TV tuner front-ends, featuring a capacitance range of 2.5–61.5 pF at 1 MHz, capacitance ratio CT1/CT28 = 20.9, and low series resistance of 0.85 Ω (typ.) at 470 MHz - enabling precise frequency tracking in analog broadcast receivers.
For engineers reviewing the BB689 E7902 datasheet, BB689 E7902 pinout, BB689 E7902 application, or BB689 E7902 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse voltage rating (30 V), temperature coefficient of capacitance, matching tolerance (±2 % across 7-diode sequence), and SC79 package compatibility with high-density RF layout requirements.
Technical Context
This varactor operates under reverse-bias conditions only, where junction capacitance varies nonlinearly with applied DC voltage - optimized for VHF band (30–300 MHz) tuning circuits requiring stable, repeatable C-V response. Its "in-line" matching assembly ensures tight capacitance uniformity across production lots.
The device exhibits a typical series inductance of 0.6 nH and temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) ranging from –5×10⁻⁴ to –1×10⁻³ /°C depending on bias, supporting predictable drift compensation in ambient-varying tuner modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capacitance @ 1 V | 51–61.5 pF - sets minimum resonant frequency in LC tank when biased near zero volts |
| Capacitance @ 28 V | 2.5–2.9 pF - defines maximum resonant frequency and tuning range upper limit |
| Capacitance Ratio CT1/CT28 | 18–23.2 - determines total usable frequency span in VHF tuner applications |
| Series Resistance rS | 0.85 Ω (typ.) - limits Q-factor degradation and insertion loss in resonant circuits |
| Reverse Voltage VR | 30 V - establishes maximum bias headroom before leakage or breakdown in tuner supply rails |
| Capacitance Matching ∆CT/CT | ≤2 % - enables consistent channel alignment across multi-tuner or diversity receiver designs |
| Operating Temp Range | –55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in sealed tuner modules exposed to chassis-level thermal cycling |
Pinout & Package
BB689 E7902 is housed in the SC79 (SOD-523) surface-mount package - a single-anode, cathode-marked, ultra-compact 1.3 mm × 0.7 mm outline with 0.2 mm pitch, optimized for high-frequency RF layout and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | DC bias reference node | Connected to ground or fixed DC potential; forms cathode-to-anode junction defining variable capacitance |
| Cathode | RF signal node / tuning voltage input | Connected to LC tank's RF path and variable DC tuning voltage; polarity must be maintained to avoid forward conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High capacitance ratio | CT1/CT28 = 20.9 - delivers >4:1 frequency tuning range without switching capacitors |
| In-line matching assembly | ±2 % capacitance matching over 1–28 V - eliminates per-unit calibration in mass-produced tuners |
| Low series resistance | rS = 0.85 Ω (typ.) - maintains Q > 100 at 100 MHz, critical for adjacent-channel rejection |
| Pb-free RoHS compliance | SC79 package meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU - supports global manufacturing and end-of-life compliance |
| Wide operating temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C - sustains performance in thermally stressed tuner enclosures near power supplies |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar varactor diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BB689-02V | Identical electrical specs; SC79 package with different marking (E7902 vs. 02V), same die and process | No functional difference - alternate marking used for traceability or customer-specific coding | Select based on BOM revision control or distributor stock availability |
| BB669 | Lower capacitance range (42–5.5 pF), CT1/CT28 = 17.5, rS = 1.0 Ω (typ.) - narrower tuning range and higher loss | Suitable for UHF-focused or lower-Q tuner stages where bandwidth is less constrained | Prefer BB689 E7902 when full VHF coverage and minimal insertion loss are required |
Compared with BB669 and BB689-02V, BB689 E7902 offers the highest capacitance ratio and lowest series resistance in the BB6xx family, making it optimal for wideband, high-selectivity VHF tuner designs where C-V linearity and thermal stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for BB689 E7902?
The absolute maximum reverse voltage (VR) is 30 V at TA = 25°C, with a peak reverse voltage (VRM) of 35 V when series resistance is ≤5 kΩ. Exceeding 30 V DC continuously risks irreversible junction degradation, especially above 85°C ambient.
Does BB689 E7902 require a specific PCB pad layout?
Yes - the SC79 package requires a footprint matching Infineon's recommended dimensions: 1.3 mm × 0.7 mm pad length/width, 0.2 mm pitch, and cathode-side solder mask opening aligned to the laser-marked cathode bar. Thermal relief vias under the cathode pad improve RF grounding.
How does capacitance matching work across multiple BB689 E7902 units?
Infineon uses an "in-line" matching assembly procedure where up to seven diodes are selected from the same wafer batch and sorted to ensure ∆CT/CT ≤ 2 % over 1–28 V. This is verified per Application Note AN047 and applies only to units marked with matched lot codes.
Can BB689 E7902 be used in SMT reflow processes?
Yes - the SC79 package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020), with peak temperature up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds. Preheating above 150°C must be limited to <120 seconds to prevent die attach degradation and capacitance shift.
