Philips Semiconductors Product specification
NPN microwave power transistor RX1214B350Y
FEATURES
• Suitable for short and medium
pulse applications up to 1 ms/10%
• Internal input prematching
networks allow an easier design of
circuits
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistors
improve ruggedness
• Interdigitated emitter-base
structure provides high emitter
efficiency
• Gold metallization with barrier
realizes very stable characteristics
and excellent lifetime
• Multicell geometry improves power
sharing and reduces thermal
resistance.
APPLICATIONS
Common base, class C, broadband,
pulsed power amplifiers for L-Band
radar applications in the
1.2 to 1.4 GHz band. Also suitable for
medium pulse, heavy duty operation
within this band.
