Product details
Overview
BF1100,215 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-gate enhancement-mode MOSFET designed for VHF/UHF RF amplification in 9–12 V supply systems, featuring 28 mS typical forward transfer admittance, 2.2 pF gate-1 input capacitance, and 2 dB noise figure at 800 MHz - deployed in television tuners and professional communications receivers.
For engineers reviewing the BF1100,215 datasheet, BF1100,215 pinout, BF1100,215 application, or BF1100,215 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SOT143), validated pin functions, confirmed AGC-stable cross-modulation performance, and real-world RF gain/noise trade-offs at 50–1000 MHz.
Technical Context
The BF1100,215 integrates two cascaded MOSFET gates with internal bias circuitry linking source and substrate to maintain stable gain under automatic gain control (AGC) conditions. Its short-channel structure enables high yfs/Cig1-s ratio (≈12.7 mS/pF), critical for broadband low-noise amplification up to 1 GHz.
It operates as a common-source RF amplifier with gate-2 (g2) serving as AGC-controlled bias node and gate-1 (g1) as signal input - delivering 24–33 mS forward transfer admittance across 9–12 V drain supply while maintaining ≤35 fF reverse transfer capacitance to minimize instability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 14 V - sets absolute upper limit for drain supply rail in tuner front-end designs |
| |yfs| typ | 28 mS at VDS = 9 V - defines small-signal transconductance driving gain in 50 Ω systems |
| Cig1-s typ | 2.2 pF - determines input matching network complexity and bandwidth roll-off rate |
| F min | 2.0 dB at 800 MHz - specifies minimum achievable noise figure in optimized LNA configurations |
| Ptot max | 200 mW - constrains thermal design margin on PCBs with standard copper pour |
| Crs max | 35 fF - limits feedback path risk and ensures unconditional stability up to 1 GHz |
| Tj max | 150 °C - defines junction temperature ceiling for continuous operation in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
BF1100,215 is housed in a plastic microminiature SOT143 package (3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm), optimized for high-frequency layout with minimal parasitic inductance. Pin 1 is source/substrate (s,b), Pin 2 is drain (d), Pin 3 is gate-2 (g2), and Pin 4 is gate-1 (g1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (s,b) | Source and substrate connection | Common reference node for both gates; must be DC-grounded and RF-bypassed for stable AGC response |
| 2 (d) | Drain terminal | RF output node requiring impedance-matched 50 Ω load; connects to tuned collector network or next-stage input |
| 3 (g2) | Gate-2 (AGC control) | Bias control input; voltage variation here modulates gain without distorting g1 signal path |
| 4 (g1) | Gate-1 (RF input) | Primary RF signal entry point; high-impedance node requiring series matching and ESD protection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-gate architecture with internal source-substrate tie | Enables simultaneous RF amplification and AGC without external bias resistors or decoupling networks |
| Low noise figure (2 dB @ 800 MHz) | Supports high-sensitivity reception in UHF TV tuners where SNR below 3 dB degrades digital signal lock |
| Cross-modulation suppression during AGC | Maintains >100 dBµV unwanted voltage rejection at 30 dB gain reduction - critical for multi-channel broadcast reception |
| High yfs/Cig1-s ratio (≥10 mS/pF) | Delivers usable gain bandwidth beyond 1 GHz while minimizing input matching component count |
| ESD-protected antistatic packaging | Guarantees gate oxide integrity during SMT placement and board handling per IEC 61340-5-1 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-gate MOSFET amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BF998,215 | Higher |yfsig1-s (1.8 pF), but narrower AGC linearity range | Better for fixed-gain LNA stages above 1 GHz; less suited for wide-dynamic-range AGC loops | Select BF998,215 when prioritizing gain-bandwidth over AGC fidelity in narrowband receivers |
| NE3210M04 | Single-gate GaAs FET, 0.5 dB lower noise figure, requires external bias network and neutralization | Superior noise performance in ultra-low-noise cryogenic or satellite ground station LNAs | Choose NE3210M04 only when system-level noise budget demands <1.8 dB NF and layout complexity is acceptable |
Compared with BF998,215 and NE3210M04, the BF1100,215 uniquely balances AGC linearity, integrated bias, and manufacturability in cost-sensitive consumer tuners - offering proven cross-modulation immunity without external compensation components.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended drain supply voltage for BF1100,215?
The BF1100,215 has an absolute maximum drain-source voltage (VDS) rating of 14 V. Operation at 9 V or 12 V is specified in all dynamic and noise characterization data, and sustained use above 12 V reduces thermal margin and may accelerate parameter drift. The BF1100,215 is not rated for 15 V or higher rails.
Does BF1100,215 require external bias resistors for gate-2 (g2) control?
No - the BF1100,215 integrates internal bias circuitry connecting source and substrate, enabling direct AGC voltage application to gate-2 without external resistors. Application circuits in the official datasheet (e.g., Fig.27) show gate-2 driven directly from a variable voltage source, confirming self-biased operation. The BF1100,215 eliminates need for discrete bias networks in tuner designs.
How does BF1100,215 perform in cross-modulation tests compared to single-gate alternatives?
In standardized cross-modulation testing (per Fig.27), the BF1100,215 achieves ≥110 dBµV unwanted voltage at 30 dB gain reduction - outperforming most single-gate MOSFETs by 15–20 dB. This is due to its dual-gate topology isolating AGC control (g2) from signal path (g1), preserving linearity during gain compression. The BF1100,215 datasheet confirms this behavior across 50–800 MHz.
Is BF1100,215 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - the BF1100,215 in SOT143 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020 Rev. E, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Thermal resistance data (Rth j-a = 500 K/W) assumes standard 2-layer PCB mounting, and the device's 150 °C maximum junction temperature supports typical lead-free thermal profiles without derating.
What is the gate-1 input capacitance (Cig1-s) of BF1100,215 at 12 V drain supply?
The BF1100,215 exhibits a typical gate-1 input capacitance (Cig1-s) of 2.2 pF at both 9 V and 12 V drain supply, with a maximum of 2.6 pF across process and temperature. This voltage-invariant behavior simplifies input matching network design across dual-supply tuner platforms. All Cig1-s values for BF1100,215 are measured at 1 MHz per datasheet Table "DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS".
