Philips Semiconductors Product specification
NPN wideband differential transistor BFE505
FEATURES
• Small size
• High power gain at low bias current and voltage
• Temperature matched
• Balanced configuration
• hFE matched
• Continues to operate at VCE<1V.
APPLICATIONS
• Single balanced mixers
• Balanced amplifiers
• Balanced oscillators.
DESCRIPTION
Emitter coupled dual NPN silicon RF transistor in a surface
mount, 5-pin SOT353 (S-mini) package. The transistor is
primarily intended for applications in the RF front end as a
balanced mixer, a differential amplifier in analog and digital
cellular phones, and in cordless phones, pagers and
satellite TV-tuners.
