DESCRIPT ION
The AM82731-003 deviceisamediumpower silicon
bipolar NPN transistor specifically designed for SBand radar pulsed driver applications.
Thisdeviceis capable ofoperation overa widerange
of pulse widths, duty cycles,and temperatures and
can withstand a10:1 outputVSWR.Low RFthermal
resistance, refractory/gold metallization, and automaticwire bonding techniques ensure high reliability
and productconsistency.
The AM82731-003 is supplied in the hermetic metal/ceramic packagewithinternal input/output impedance matching circuitry, and is intended for military
and otherhigh reliability applications.
