PN4391

Single N-Channel JFET switch

Linear Systems replaces discontinued Siliconix PN4391

The PN4391 features many of the superior

characteristics of JFETs which make it a good choice

for demanding analog switching applications and for

specialized amplifier circuits.

PN4391 Applications:

Analog Switches

Choppers,

Sample-and-Hold

Normally “On” Switches, Current Limiters

PN4391 Benefits:

Low Error Voltage

High-Speed Analog Circuit Performance

Negligible “Off-Error,” Excellent Accuracy

Good Frequency Response, Low Glitches

Eliminates Additional Buffering
