Philips Semiconductors Product specification
NPN microwave power transistor PTC4001T
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 characteristics stability and
excellent lifetime
• Multicell geometry gives good
balance of dissipated power and
low thermal resistance.
APPLICATIONS
Common collector oscillator circuits
under CW conditions in military and
professional applications up to
5 GHz.
DESCRIPTION
NPN silicon planar epitaxial
microwave transistor in a SOT440A
metal ceramic flange package with
collector connected to flange.
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
