The SD1540-08 is a gold metallized silicon, NPN
power transistordesignedfor applications requiring
high peak power and low duty cycles such as
IFF, DME and TACAN. The SD1540 is packaged
in a metal/ceramic package with internal input/output matching resulting in improved broadband performance and a low thermal resistance.
