DESCRIPTION
The SD1542 is a hermetically sealed, gold metallized, silicon NPN power transistor. The
SD1542 is designed for applications req uiring hig h
peak power and low duty cycles such as IFF and
DME. The SD1542 is pa ckaged in a hermetic metal/ceramic package with internal input/output
matching, resulting in improved broadband performance and a low thermal resistance.
