Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification
Microwave power transistor PTB23006U
FEATURES
• Very high power gain
• 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
• Internal input prematching network.
APPLICA TIONS

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.
