Philips Semiconductors Product specification
VHF power MOS transistor BLF225
FEATURES
• Easy power control
• Good thermal stability
• Withstands full load mismatch.
DESCRIPTION
Silicon N-channel enhancement
mode vertical D-MOS transistor
designed for communications
transmitter applications in the VHF
frequency range.
The transistor is encapsulated in a
4-lead, SOT123 flange envelope, with
a ceramic cap. All leads are isolated
from the flange.
