FEATURES
•
Diffused emitter ballasting resistors providing excellent
current sharing and withstanding a high VSWR
•
Interdigitated structure provides high emitter efficiency
•
Multicell geometry gives good balance of dissipated
power and low thermal resistance
•
Localized thick oxide auto-alignment process and gold
sandwich metallization ensure an optimum temperature
profile and excellent performance and reliability.
APPLICATIONS
Common-base, class B power amplifiers up to 4.2 GHz.
