SL3227
3GHz NPN TRANSISTOR ARRAYS
The SL3227 is a monolithic array of the five high frequency
low current NPN transistors in a 16 lead DIL package. The
transistors exhibit typical fT of 3GHz and wideband noise
figures of 2dB. The SL3227 is pin compatible with the CA3127
and SL3127.
FEATURES
fT Typically 3GHz
Wideband Noise Figure 2.0dB
VBE Matching Better Than 5mV
APPLICATIONS
Wide Band Amplifiers
PCM Regenerators
High Speed Interface Circuits
High Performance Instrumentation Amplifiers
High Speed Modems
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
The absolute maximum ratings are limiting values above
which operating life may be shortened or specified parameters
may be degraded.
All electrical ratings apply to individual transistors. Thermal
ratings apply to the total package.
The isolation pin (substrate) must be connected to the most
negative voltage applied to the package to maintain electrical
isolation.
VCB = 10 volt
VEB = 2.5 volt
VCE = 6 volt
VCI = 15volt
IC = 20 mA
Maximum individual transistor dissipation 200 mWatt
Storage temperature -55°C to +150°C
Max junction temperature +150°C
Package thermal resistance (°C/watt)
Package Type MP16
Chip to case 111
Chip to ambient 41
NOTE:If all the power is being dissipated in one transistor,
these thermal resistance figures should be increased by
100°C/watt
