VHF power MOS transistor
BLF244
FEATURES
High power gain
Low noise figure
Easy power control
Good thermal stability
Withstands full load mismatch
Gold metallization ensures
excellent reliability.
DESCRIPTION
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 SOT123 flange envelope, with
a ceramic cap. All leads are isolated
from the flange.
Matched gate-source voltage (V
GS
)
groups are available on request.
