2SC4536
NPN EPITAXIAL SILICON RF TRANSISTOR FOR
HIGH-FREQUENCY LOW-NOISE AMPLIFICATION
3-PIN POWER MINIMOLD
DESCRIPTION
The 2SC4536 is designed for use in middle power, low distortion low noise figure RF amplifier. It features
excellent linearity and large dynamic range, which make it suitable for CATV, telecommunication, and other use, it
employs plastic surface mount type package (SOT-89).
FEATURES
• Low distortion: IM2 = 59.0 dBc TYP., IM3 = 82.0 dBc TYP. @ VCE = 10 V, IC = 50 mA
• Low noise: NF = 2.0 dB TYP. @ VCE = 10 V, IC = 50 mA, f = 1 GHz
tot
• Large P
• Small package : 3-pin power minimold package
tot
: P
= 2.0 W (Mounted on double-sided copper-clad 16 cm2 × 0.7 mm (t) ceramic substrate)
