Rev. 4 — 15 September 2011 Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
N-channel symmetrical silicon junction field-effect transistors in a SOT23 package.
CAUTION
1.2 Features and benefits
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Therefore care should be taken
during transport and handling.
Low leakage level (typ. 500 fA)
High gain
Low cut-off voltage (max. 2.2 V for BF545A).
1.3 Applications
Impedance converters in e.g. electret microphones and infra-red detectors
VHF amplifiers in oscillators and mixers.
