DESCRIPTION
The SMA540B is a NPN Transistor integrating a cur-
rent mirror as biasing. In this way the IC (collector
current) can be controlled setting the current at Bias
pin according to IC = 10 * IBIAS. The IBIAS current
is easy adjustable using an external resistor.
SMA540B is housed in ultra miniature SOT323-4L
package(LEAD FREE), the relative dimensions are
1.15mmx1.8mm with 0.8mm thickness.
