Product details
Overview
BF1105 from NXP Semiconductors is an enhancement-type N-channel dual-gate MOSFET with source and substrate internally connected, designed for low-noise RF amplification in VHF/UHF tuners. It delivers 31 mS forward transfer admittance, 2.2 pF gate-1 input capacitance, and 1.7 dB noise figure at 800 MHz under 5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the BF1105 datasheet, BF1105 pinout, BF1105 application, or BF1105 equivalent, this page provides verified pin configuration, cross-modulation performance at 40 dB AGC, thermal resistance (350 K/W), self-biasing drain current range (8–16 mA), and SOT143B package dimensions - all critical for tuner front-end design and RF gain stage selection.
Technical Context
The BF1105 operates as a common-source RF amplifier with internal self-biasing that stabilizes DC operating point and improves cross-modulation performance during automatic gain control (AGC). Its dual-gate architecture enables independent control of RF signal injection (gate 1) and bias/gain setting (gate 2).
Integrated protection diodes between each gate and source prevent damage from input voltage surges. The device is characterized at 25 °C with VDS = 5 V and VG2-S = 4 V, supporting stable operation up to 1 GHz while maintaining sub-2.5 dB noise figure and >38 dB power gain at 200 MHz.

Pinout & Package
BF1105 is housed in the SOT143B plastic surface-mounted package (3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm), optimized for RF layout with short lead inductance and controlled parasitics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Source | Common reference node for both gates and drain; internally tied to substrate for enhanced stability |
| 2 | Drain | RF output terminal; connects to tuned collector load or next-stage input via coupling capacitor |
| 3 | Gate 2 | Bias and AGC control input; sets quiescent current and gain level without modulating RF path |
| 4 | Gate 1 | Primary RF signal input; isolated from Gate 2 to minimize feedthrough and improve reverse isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-gate architecture with isolated inputs | Enables simultaneous RF signal injection (G1) and independent gain/bias control (G2), reducing AGC-induced distortion |
| Integrated gate-source protection diodes | Prevents electrostatic damage and transient overvoltage failure without external clamping components |
| Self-biasing circuit | Stabilizes ID between 8–16 mA at VDS = 5 V and VG2-S = 4 V, simplifying bias network design |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BF1105R | SOT143R package with reversed pinning (1=source, 2=drain, 4=gate2, 3=gate1); identical electrical specs | Requires PCB layout revision due to swapped gate pin order; same RF performance and bias behavior | Select when board space allows reverse-pin footprint or when sourcing legacy stock with SOT143R marking code NAp |
| BF1105WR | SOT343R package (2.2 × 1.35 × 0.9 mm); smaller footprint but same pinout orientation as BF1105R | Enables higher-density tuner modules; thermal resistance increases slightly due to reduced pad area | Choose for miniaturized designs where 25% smaller footprint justifies marginally higher Rth j-a (not specified, but inferred from size reduction) |
Compared with BF1105, BF1105R offers identical RF performance in a mechanically distinct SOT143R outline requiring layout adaptation, while BF1105WR delivers the same functionality in a 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm SOT343R package - prioritizing board area savings over thermal margin in space-constrained tuner assemblies.

FAQ
What is the maximum drain-source voltage rating for BF1105?
The BF1105 has a maximum drain-source voltage (VDS) rating of 7 V, as defined in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies under continuous DC conditions with proper thermal management and is intended for use in 5 V supply systems such as television tuners. Exceeding 7 V risks permanent device failure per IEC 60134 limiting values.
Does BF1105 require external bias resistors?
No, BF1105 does not require external bias resistors due to its integrated self-biasing circuit. When operated at VDS = 5 V and VG2-S = 4 V, the BF1105 delivers a self-biasing drain current (IDSX) between 8 mA and 16 mA, establishing a stable quiescent point without discrete components - simplifying tuner front-end design and improving thermal drift performance.
What is the noise figure of BF1105 at 800 MHz?
The BF1105 achieves a typical noise figure (F) of 1.7 dB at 800 MHz, measured under standard conditions: VDS = 5 V, VG2-S = 4 V, ID = 12 mA, and YS = YS opt. The maximum specified noise figure is 2.5 dB, confirming its suitability for low-noise amplifier stages in UHF receivers and professional communication equipment where signal-to-noise ratio is critical.
How does BF1105 handle input voltage surges?
The BF1105 incorporates integrated diodes between each gate (G1 and G2) and the source terminal to protect against excessive input voltage surges. These on-chip diodes clamp transient voltages before they reach the sensitive gate oxide, eliminating the need for external TVS or series resistors in most tuner applications - enhancing robustness while reducing bill-of-materials count.
What package type is used for BF1105?
The BF1105 is packaged in the SOT143B plastic surface-mounted package, measuring 3.0 mm × 1.4 mm × 1.1 mm. This outline features standard pinning (Pin 1 = source, Pin 2 = drain, Pin 3 = gate 2, Pin 4 = gate 1) and is optimized for RF performance with low parasitic inductance - distinct from the SOT143R and SOT343R variants used for BF1105R and BF1105WR respectively.
