UHF power transistor
DESCRIPTION
N-P-N silicon planar epitaxial transistor primarily intended
for use in mobile radio transmitters in the 900 MHz
communications band.
FEATURES
BLV93
•
multi-base structure and emitter-ballasting resistors for
an optimum temperature profile
•
internal input matching to achieve an optimum wideband
capability and high power gain
•
gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.
The transistor has a 6-lead flange envelope with a ceramic
cap (SOT-171). All leads are isolated from the flange.
