Description
Hewlett Packard’s HBFP-0450 is a
high performance isolated
collector silicon bipolar junction
transistor housed in a 4-lead SC-70
(SOT-343) surface mount plastic
package.
This product is based on a 25 GHz
transition frequency fabrication
process, which enables the
products to be used for high
performance, medium power, low
noise applications up to 6 GHz.

S and noise parameters are measured
on a microstrip line made on 0.025 inch
thick alumina carrier. The input
reference plane is at the end of the base
lead, the output reference plane is at the
end of the collector lead. S and noise
parameters include the effect of four
plated through via holes connecting
emitter landing pads on the top of test
carrier to the microstrip ground plane
on the bottom side of the carrier. Two
0.020 inch diameter via holes are placed
within 0.010 inch from each emitter lead
contact point, one via on each side of
that point.
