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
A
to 1 mA); due to
its high transition frequency, it also
has excellent wideband properties
and low noise up to high frequencies.
