CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. The collector of each transistor of the CA3127 is isolated from the substrate by an integral diode. The substrate (Terminal 5) must be connected to
the most negative point in the external circuit to maintain isolation between transistors and to provide for normal transistor action.
2.
JA
is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.

NOTE:
3. When used as a zener for reference voltage, the device must not be subjected to more than 0.1mJ of energy from any possible capacitance or
electrostatic discharge in order to prevent degradation of the junction. Maximum operating zener current should be less than 10mA.

NOTES:
4. This circuit was chosen because it conveniently
represents a close approximation in performance to a
properly unilateralized single transistor of this type. The
use of Q
3
in a current-mirror configuration facilitates
simplified biasing. The use of the cascode circuit in no
way implies that the transistors cannot be used
individually.
