Product details
Overview
BF1107 from NXP Semiconductors is a depletion-mode N-channel single-gate MOSFET in SOT23 package, designed as a currentless RF switch for high-isolation signal routing. It delivers ≤2.5 dB on-state insertion loss (50 Ω, 50–860 MHz), ≥30 dB off-state isolation, and −3 to −4.5 V gate-source pinch-off voltage, enabling passive loop-through switching in VCR tuners and transceiver front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BF1107 datasheet, BF1107 pinout, BF1107 application, or BF1107 equivalent, this page provides verified RF switching specifications, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, confirmed interchangeability of drain/source terminals, and real-world selection guidance for RF signal path design.
Technical Context
The BF1107 operates as a depletion-mode device requiring no gate bias current to maintain conduction-ideal for zero-power RF switching. Its integrated gate-source and gate-drain diodes provide ESD protection up to ±7 V, while symmetric drain-source structure enables bidirectional RF signal handling without polarity constraints.
Dynamic performance is characterized across 50–860 MHz with fixed 50 Ω or 75 Ω terminations; on-state loss and off-state isolation are specified under defined VSG/VDG conditions, and input/output capacitance varies predictably between 0.9 pF (VGS = −5 V) and 2.0 pF (VGS = 0 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Device Type | Depletion-mode N-channel MOSFET - conducts at VGS = 0 V; requires negative gate voltage to turn off |
| On-State Insertion Loss | ≤2.5 dB @ 50 MHz–860 MHz, RS = RL = 50 Ω - ensures minimal RF power loss in active signal path |
| Off-State Isolation | ≥30 dB @ 50 MHz–860 MHz, RS = RL = 50 Ω - blocks unwanted RF coupling between ports during switch-off |
| Pinch-Off Voltage VGS(p) | −3 to −4.5 V @ ID = 20 µA - defines minimum gate-source voltage needed to fully deplete channel |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 12–20 Ω @ VGS = 0 V, ID = 1 mA - determines series impedance in conducting state at low-frequency DC bias points |
| Input Capacitance Cig | 1.5–2.0 pF @ VGS = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - directly impacts impedance matching and bandwidth in RF layout |
| ESD Sensitivity | HBM Class 1B (±2 kV) - mandates ESD-safe handling per IEC 61340-5-1 during assembly and test |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mounted package (JEDEC TO-236AB); 3-lead, 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint; thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 260 K/W to solder point.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Drain | RF signal input/output port; interchangeable with Pin 2 per datasheet - supports bidirectional signal routing |
| 2 | Source | RF signal input/output port; electrically identical to Pin 1 - eliminates orientation dependency in layout |
| 3 | Gate | Control terminal; accepts DC bias (0 V to −5 V) to modulate RF conduction; protected by integrated diodes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Currentless RF switching | No gate drive current required - eliminates bias network losses and simplifies control interface |
| Integrated gate protection diodes | Gate-source and gate-drain diodes rated to ±7 V - suppresses ESD transients without external clamps |
| Interchangeable drain and source | Pin 1 and Pin 2 function identically - reduces PCB routing complexity and enables symmetrical RF layout |
| Low on-state insertion loss | ≤2.5 dB over full 50–860 MHz band with 50 Ω terminations - preserves signal integrity in tuner and IF paths |
| High off-state isolation | ≥30 dB across same frequency range - prevents crosstalk and LO leakage in multi-path RF systems |
Applications
| VCR Tuner Loop-Through | Transceiver Antenna Switching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Passive RF signal bypass in analog videocassette recorder tuner modules, where antenna input must be routed to both IF output and recording path simultaneously. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Currentless RF switch providing low-loss, bidirectional signal path without DC bias or control current. Use Value: Enables zero-power loop-through functionality with ≤2.5 dB loss and ≥30 dB isolation, eliminating need for active switching circuitry. |
Use Scenario: Transmit/receive path selection in half-duplex RF transceivers, isolating PA output from LNA input during RX mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Depletion-mode MOSFET acting as a voltage-controlled RF SPST switch with fast turn-on/off via gate bias. Use Value: Achieves ≥30 dB TX-to-RX isolation at 50–860 MHz, preventing receiver desensitization without timing-critical control signals. |
| IF Signal Routing | RF Test Fixture Switching |
Use Scenario: Selective routing of intermediate frequency signals between multiple demodulator inputs in broadcast receiver ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance RF switch inserted in 50 Ω IF path; drain/source symmetry allows flexible placement. Use Value: Maintains impedance match with Cig/Cog ≤2.0 pF and RDSon ≤20 Ω, minimizing group delay distortion in 30–100 MHz IF bands. |
Use Scenario: Reconfigurable signal path in automated RF test fixtures, where manual SMA jumper replacement is impractical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Surface-mount RF switch enabling remote-controlled path selection via TTL-compatible gate voltage. Use Value: Delivers repeatable ≤2.5 dB insertion loss and ≥30 dB isolation across 50–860 MHz, supporting calibration-grade measurement accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BF1207,235 | Higher pinch-off voltage (−4 to −6 V); slightly higher RDSon (15–25 Ω); same SOT23 package and pinout | Better noise margin in noisy environments but marginally higher insertion loss (≤2.8 dB) | Select BF1207,235 when gate drive swing exceeds −4.5 V or higher off-state robustness is required |
| SI2301-TP | Enhancement-mode P-channel MOSFET; requires positive gate drive; no built-in gate protection diodes | Needs external ESD protection and level-shifting circuitry; not currentless - adds quiescent power | Choose SI2301-TP only if system already provides +5 V gate bias and layout accommodates added protection components |
Compared with BF1207,235 and SI2301-TP, the BF1107 uniquely combines true currentless operation, integrated gate protection, and drain-source interchangeability - making it optimal for low-power, high-reliability RF signal routing where gate drive simplicity and ESD resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF frequency range supported by the BF1107?
The BF1107 is characterized for operation from 50 MHz to 860 MHz, with insertion loss and isolation data explicitly specified across this band under 50 Ω and 75 Ω termination conditions. Performance beyond 860 MHz is not documented in the official NXP datasheet BF1107_4, and design use outside this range requires independent validation.
Can drain and source terminals of the BF1107 be used interchangeably in circuit design?
Yes - the BF1107 datasheet explicitly states "drain and source are interchangeable" in both the General Description and Pinning Information sections. This symmetry is inherent to its depletion-mode MOSFET structure and enables bidirectional RF signal flow without polarity constraints in layout.
Does the BF1107 require external ESD protection components?
No - the BF1107 integrates diodes between gate-source and gate-drain, rated to withstand ±7 V transient voltages. However, it remains ESD-sensitive (HBM Class 1B), so handling precautions (grounded workstations, ionizers) are still mandatory; external protection is unnecessary for typical board-level ESD events.
What is the gate-source pinch-off voltage specification for the BF1107?
The BF1107 has a gate-source pinch-off voltage VGS(p) of −3 V (typical) to −4.5 V (maximum), measured at VDS = 1 V and ID = 20 µA. This defines the most positive gate voltage at which the channel is fully depleted - critical for determining usable gate bias range in switching applications.
Is the BF1107 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - the BF1107 is packaged in a standard plastic SOT23 (TO-236AB) housing rated for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature tolerance is 260 °C (10 s max), matching common Pb-free profile requirements, and the device carries appropriate RoHS compliance markings per NXP documentation.
