Description
The main purpose of this bipolar transistor is broadband amplification up to more than 2 GHz. In the space-saving 3-pin surface-mount SOT-490 package electrical performance and reliability are taken to a new level covering a smaller footprint on PC boards than previous packages. .
In addition to space savings, the SOT-490 provides a higher level of reliability than other 3-pin packages, such as more resistance to moisture. Due to the short length of its leads the SOT-490 is also reducing package inductances resulting in some better electrical performance. All of these aspects make this device an ideal choice for demanding RF applications

FEATUREs
• Low power applications
• Very low noise figure
