Philips Semiconductors Product specification
UHF power MOS transistor BLF521
FEATURES
• High power gain
• Easy power control
• Gold metallization
• Good thermal stability
• Withstands full load mismatch
• Designed for broadband operation.
DESCRIPTION
Silicon N-channel enhancement
mode vertical D-MOS transistor
designed for communications
transmitter applications in the UHF
frequency range.
The transistor is encapsulated in a
4-lead, SOT172D studless envelope,
with a ceramic cap. All leads are
isolated from the mounting base.
