Product details
Overview
BF1100R,215 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-gate enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT143R package, designed for VHF/UHF RF amplification in 9–12 V supply systems. It delivers 28 mS forward transfer admittance (|yfs|), 2.2 pF input capacitance at gate 1, and 2 dB noise figure at 800 MHz - enabling low-noise gain-controlled amplifier stages in TV tuners and professional communications receivers.
For engineers reviewing the BF1100R,215 datasheet, BF1100R,215 pinout, BF1100R,215 application, or BF1100R,215 equivalent, key selection criteria include AGC-compatible cross-modulation performance, thermal resistance of 550 K/W (junction-to-ambient), and validated operation up to 150 °C junction temperature in high-reliability RF front-end designs.
Technical Context
The BF1100R,215 integrates two cascaded MOSFET gates with internal bias circuitry linking source and substrate, enabling stable gain control under automatic gain control (AGC) conditions. Its short-channel structure yields high |yfs|/Cig1-s ratio (≈12.7 mS/pF), critical for broadband VHF/UHF amplification.
Gate 1 serves as RF input with 2.2–2.6 pF capacitance and <50 nA cutoff current; Gate 2 functions as AGC control terminal with 0.3–1.2 V threshold voltage and ±10 mA absolute max current. Drain-source voltage is rated to 14 V with 30 mA max continuous drain current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| |yfs| | 28 mS typical - enables high small-signal gain in 50 Ω RF amplifier stages up to 1 GHz |
| Cig1-s | 2.2 pF typical - low input capacitance preserves impedance matching and bandwidth in VHF/UHF front-ends |
| Noise Figure | 2 dB at 800 MHz - supports sensitive receiver applications requiring minimal signal degradation |
| VDS max | 14 V - compatible with standard 9 V and 12 V RF supply rails without derating |
| Ptot | 200 mW - sufficient for low-power tuner IF/RF amplifiers with thermal derating above 40 °C ambient |
| Tj max | 150 °C - ensures reliability in enclosed consumer and professional RF equipment |
| Rth j-a | 550 K/W - defines thermal design margin for PCB layout on standard FR-4 with minimal copper area |
Pinout & Package
SOT143R plastic microminiature package (2.8 × 1.4 × 0.95 mm), surface-mount, with gull-wing leads and marked %MZ. Designed for high-frequency RF layout with minimized lead inductance and controlled parasitic coupling between gates.
| 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 bias and noise performance |
| 2 (d) | Drain | RF output node; requires impedance-matching network and DC blocking capacitor in amplifier configurations |
| 3 (g2) | Gate 2 | AGC control input; biased at 4 V typical; modulates gain while maintaining low cross-modulation distortion |
| 4 (g1) | Gate 1 | RF input terminal; high-impedance node requiring 50 Ω source termination and ESD protection per handling caution |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-gate architecture with internal bias | Enables stable gain control during AGC without external bias networks, reducing component count in tuner IF stages |
| Low noise figure (2 dB @ 800 MHz) | Meets sensitivity requirements for UHF terrestrial TV reception and narrowband professional comms receivers |
| Superior cross-modulation performance | Validated via Fig.6: >110 dBµV unwanted voltage at 40 dB gain reduction - critical for multi-channel broadcast systems |
| High |yfs|/Cig1-s ratio | ≈12.7 mS/pF - delivers wideband gain flatness from 50–1000 MHz without peaking compensation |
| ESD-protected antistatic packaging | Prevents gate oxide damage during SMT assembly; gate-source voltage must remain within ±10 mA current limits |
Applications

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 |yfs| (35 mS typ), lower Cig1-s (1.7 pF), SOT143 package (not R variant) | Better high-frequency gain flatness above 800 MHz but reduced thermal margin (Rth j-a = 500 K/W vs. 550 K/W) | Select BF998,215 when prioritizing 1–2 GHz bandwidth over AGC linearity at elevated ambient temperatures |
| NE3210M04 | GaAs pHEMT, 0.5 µm gate, 15 dB gain @ 900 MHz, 0.6 dB NF, SOT343 package | Superior noise and gain at 800–1000 MHz but requires negative gate bias and lacks integrated AGC path | Choose NE3210M04 for ultra-low-noise front-ends where external AGC circuitry is acceptable and cost premium is justified |
Compared with BF1100R,215, BF998,215 offers higher RF gain but less robust thermal derating above 40 °C, while NE3210M04 delivers GaAs-level noise performance at the expense of added bias complexity and no native dual-gate AGC functionality.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for BF1100R,215?
The BF1100R,215 has a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C, as specified in the Limiting Values table. This rating applies under all operating conditions and must be maintained via appropriate PCB thermal design - especially given its 550 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Derating begins above 40 °C ambient temperature per Fig.3 power derating curves.
How does BF1100R,215 differ from BF1100 in terms of thermal performance?
The BF1100R,215 uses the SOT143R package with higher thermal resistance: Rth j-a = 550 K/W versus 500 K/W for BF1100 (SOT143). Its power dissipation remains 200 mW but is limited to ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, compared to 50 °C for BF1100. This reflects mechanical differences in leadframe geometry and solder joint thermal path.
Can BF1100R,215 be used in 5 V supply applications?
The BF1100R,215 is specifically characterized and optimized for 9–12 V supply operation per its Features section and Static Characteristics data. While VDS rating allows 5 V use, key parameters like |yfs|, noise figure, and AGC linearity are not guaranteed below 9 V. The device may function but will not meet published specifications.
What is the purpose of the interconnected source and substrate (pin 1) in BF1100R,215?
In BF1100R,215, pin 1 connects both source and substrate to provide a common reference that stabilizes threshold voltage across temperature and improves cross-modulation performance during AGC. This internal connection eliminates need for external substrate biasing and enhances repeatability in mass-produced tuner modules.
Is BF1100R,215 pin-compatible with BF998,215?
Yes - BF1100R,215 and BF998,215 share identical SOT143R pinout (pin 1 = s,b; pin 2 = d; pin 3 = g2; pin 4 = g1) and mechanical footprint per MBC844 outline drawing. However, electrical characteristics differ significantly: BF998,215 has higher |yfs| and lower Cig1-s, requiring circuit re-optimization despite physical compatibility.
