Description
Hewlett Packard’s AT-33225 is a
low cost, NPN power silicon
bipolar junction transistor housed
in a miniature MSOP-3 surface
mount plastic package. This
device is designed for use as an
output device for AMPS and
ETACS mobile phones. The
AT-33225 features over 1 watt
CW␣ output power when operated
at 4.8 volts. Excellent gain and
superior efficiency make the
AT-33225 ideal for use in battery
powered systems.
The AT-33225 is fabricated with
Hewlett Packard’s 10 GHz Ft SelfAligned-Transistor (SAT) process.
The die are nitride passivated for
surface protection. Excellent
device uniformity, performance
and reliability are produced by the
use of ion-implantation, selfalignment techniques, and gold
metalization in the fabrication of
these devices.
