DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS:
Bipolarics' BRF610is a high performance silicon bipolar
transistor intended for use in low noise application at VHF,
UHF and microwave frequencies. High performance low
noise performance can be realized at 2 mA or less making the
BRF610an excellent choice for battery applications. From 10
mA to greater than 20mA, f
t is nominally 10 GHz. Maximum
recommended continuous current is 20 mA. A broad range of
packages are offered including SOT-23, SOT-143, plastic and
ceramic 0.085" Micro-X, 0.070" Stripline and unencapsulated
dice.
