BB178 VHF variable capacitance diode Rev. 3 5 September 2011 Product data sheet 1. Product profile 1.1 General description The BB178 is a planar technology variable capacitance diode, in a SOD523 (SC-79) ultra small plastic package. The excellent matching performance is achieved by gliding matching and a Direct Matching Assembly (DMA) procedure. 1.2 Features and benefits Excellent linearity Excellent matching to 2 % DMA Ultra small plastic SMD package C : 2.6 pF C to C ratio: 15 d(28V) d(1V) d(28V) Very low series resistance. 1.3 Applications Electronic tuning in VHF television tuners, band B up to 460 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO). 2.
