1. Product profile
1.1 General description
NPN low V
CEsat
Breakthrough In Small Signal (BISS) transistor in a SOT223 (SC-73)
medium power Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic package.
PNP complement: PBSS4041PZ.
1.2 Features and benefits
Very low collector-emitter saturation voltage V
CEsat
High collector current capability I
C
and I
CM
High collector current gain (h
FE
) at high I
C
High energy efficiency due to less heat generation
AEC-Q101 qualified
Smaller required Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) area than for conventional transistors
1.3 Applications
Loadswitch
Battery-driven devices
Power management
Charging circuits
Power switches (e.g. motors, fans)
