VHF power MOS transistor
Silicon N-channel enhancement mode vertical D-MOS transistor designed for large signal amplifier applications in the VHF frequency range. The transistor is encapsulated in a 4-lead SOT123A flange package, with a ceramic cap. All leads are isolated from the flange. Matched gate-source voltage (VGS) groups are available on request.
Features and benefits
- High power gain
- Low noise figure
- Easy power control
- Good thermal stability
- Withstands full load mismatch
- Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability
Applications
- Large signal amplifier applications in the VHF frequency range
