BB179B,115

1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BB179B is a variable capacitance diode, fabricated in planar technology and
encapsulated in the SOD523 (SC-79) ultra small SMD plastic package. The excellent
matching performance is achieved by gliding matching and a Direct Matching Assembly
(DMA) procedure.
