NPN 2 GHz wideband transistor
DESCRIPTION
NPN transistor in a plastic SOT23
envelope.
It is primarily intended for use in RF
low power amplifiers, such as in
pocket phones, paging systems, etc.
The transistor features low current
consumption (100
µA
to 1 mA); due to
its high transition frequency, it also
has excellent wideband properties
and low noise up to high frequencies.
