NPN microwave power transistor PTB23002U
FEATURES
• Very high power gain
• Internal input prematching network
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistors
improve ruggedness
• Interdigitated emitter-base
structure
• Gold metallization with barrier layer
to prevent electromigration and
gold diffusion during life
• Multicell geometry improves power
sharing and reduces thermal
resistance.
APPLICATIONS
Common-base, class C power
amplifiers at frequencies up to
2.3 GHz.
DESCRIPTION
NPN silicon planar epitaxial
microwave power transistor in a
SOT440A hermetically sealed metal
ceramic flange package, with base
connected to flange.
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
Microwave performance up to Tmb=25°C in a common-base class C
narrowband amplifier.
