VHF power MOS transistor BLF346
FEATURES
• High power gain
• Easy power control
• Good thermal stability
• Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.
APPLICATIONS
• Linear amplifier applications in Television transmitters
and transposers.
DESCRIPTION
Silicon N-channel enhancement mode vertical D-MOS
transistor encapsulated in a 6-lead, SOT119 flange
package, with a ceramic cap. All leads are isolated from
the flange. A marking code, showing gate-source voltage
(V
) information is provided for matched pair
GS
applications. Refer to the General Section of Data
Handbook SC19a for further information.
CAUTION
The device is supplied in an antistatic package. The
gate-source input must be protected against static
discharge during transport or handling.
