NEC's NE688 series of NPN epitaxial silicon transistors are
designed for low cost amplifier and oscillator applications. Low
noise figures, high gain and high current capability equate to
wide dynamic range and excellent linearity. NE688's low
phase noise distortion and high fT make it an excellent choice
for oscillator applications up to 5 GHz. The NE688 series is
available in six different low cost plastic surface mount pack-
age styles, and in chip form.
