UHF push-pull power MOS transistor BLF544B

FEATURES

• High power gain

• Easy power control

• Good thermal stability

• Gold metallization ensures

excellent reliability

• Designed for broadband operation.

DESCRIPTION

Silicon N-channel enhancement
mode vertical D-MOS push-pull
transistor designed for
communications transmitter
applications in the UHF frequency
range.

The transistor is encapsulated in a
4-lead, SOT268 balanced flange
envelope, with two ceramic caps. The
mounting flange provides the
common source connection for the
transistors.
