NTE917
Integrated Circuit
Dual, Independent Transistor Array, Differential Amp
Description:
The NTE917 is an integrated circuit consisting of two independent differential amplifiers with associated
constant−current transistors on a common monolithic substrate. The six NPN transistors which comprise
the amplifiers are general purpose devices which exhibit low 1/f noise an a value of f
T
in excess of
300MHz. These features make the NTE917 useful from DC to 120MHz. Bias and load resistors have
been omitted to provide maximum application flexibility.
The monolithic construction of the NTE917 provides close electrical and thermal matching of the
amplifiers. This feature makes this device particularly useful in dual−channel applications where
matched performance of the two channels is required.
The NTE917 is supplied in a 14−Lead DIP type plastic package with a limited temperature range. The
availability of extra pins allows the introduction of an independent substrate connection for maximum
flexibility.

Note 1. The collector of each transistor is isolated from the substrate by an integral diode.
The substrate
must be connected to a voltage which is more negative than any collector voltage in order to
maintain isolation between transistors and provide for normal transistor action. The substrate
should be maintained at signal (AC) GND by means of a suitable grounding capacitor, to avoid
undesired coupling between transistors.
