DESC RIPT ION
The MSC82100 is a hermetically sealed NPN
power transistor with a fishbone, emitter finger
ballasted geometry utilizing a refractory/gold metallization system. The device is designed specifically for Class A linear applications to provide
high gain and high output power at the 1.0 dB
compression point.
