NTE2023
Integrated Circuit
General Purpose, High Current
7–Segment Display Driver
Description:
The NTE2023 is a general purpose high current transistor array in a 16–Lead DIP type package comprised of seven high current silicon NPN transistor on a common monolithic substrate. It is connected
in a common–collector configuration.

Note 1. The collector of each transistor in the NTE2023 is isolated from the substrate by an integral
diode. The substrate must be connected to a voltage which is more negative than any collector voltage so as to maintain isolation between transistors, and to provide normal transistor
action. Undesired coupling between transistors is avoided by maintaining the substrate (5)
at either DC or signal (AC) ground. An appropriate bypass capacitor can be used to establish
a signal ground.
