NPN silicon planar epitaxial microwave
power transistor
FEATURES
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistors
providing excellent current sharing
and withstanding a high VSWR
• Interdigitated structure provides
high emitter efficiency
• Gold metallization realizes very
good stability of the characteristics
and excellent lifetime
• Multicell geometry gives good
balance of dissipated power and
low thermal resistance
• Internal input prematching ensures
good stability and allows an easier
design of wideband circuits.
