UHF linear power transistor BLW898
FEATURES
• Internal input matching for wideband operation and high
power gain
• Polysilicon emitter ballasting resistors for an optimum
temperature profile
• Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.
APPLICATION
• Common emitter class-A operation in linear
transposers/transmitters (television) in the
470 to 860 MHz frequency band.
DESCRIPTION
NPN silicon planar transistor in a SOT171A 6-lead
rectangular flange package, with a ceramic cap. The
transistor delivers a P
860 MHz and a supply voltage of 25 V.
