Product specification

NPN microwave power transistor

LLE18300X

FEATURES

Diffused emitter ballasting resistors

providing excellent current sharing

and withstanding a high VSWR

• Interdigitated structure provides

high emitter efficiency

• Gold metallization realizes very

good stability of the characteristics

and excellent lifetime

• Multicell geometry gives good

balance of dissipated power and

low thermal resistance

• Internal input and output

prematching ensures good stability

and allows an easier design of

wideband circuits.

APPLICATION

Intended for use in common emitter,

class AB amplifiers in CW conditions

for professional applications between

1.7 GHz and 2 GHz.

DESCRIPTION

NPN silicon planar epitaxial

microwave power transistor in an

SOT437A glued cap metal ceramic

flange package, with emitter

connected to flange.
