Agilent AT-30511, AT-30533
Low Current, High Performance
NPN Silicon Bipolar Transistors
Data Sheet
Description
Agilent’s AT-30511 and AT-30533
are high performance NPN bipolar
transistors that have been
optimized for maximum fT at low
voltage operation, making them
ideal for use in battery powered
applications in wireless markets.
The AT-30533 uses the 3 lead
SOT-23, while the AT-30511 places
the same die in the higher
performance 4 lead SOT-143. Both
packages are industry standard,
and compatible with high volume
surface mount assembly
techniques.
The 3.2 micron emitter-to-emitter
pitch and reduced parasitic design
of these transistors yields
extremely high performance
products that can perform a multi-
plicity of tasks. The 5 emitter finger
interdigitated geometry yields an
extremely fast transistor with high
gain and low operating currents.
Optimized performance at 2.7 V
makes these devices ideal for use
in 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, and 2.4 GHz
battery operated systems as an
LNA, gain stage, buffer, oscillator,
or active mixer. Typical amplifier
designs at 900 MHz yield 1.3 dB
noise figures with 13 dB or more
associated gain at a 2.7 V, 1 mA
bias. Voltage breakdowns are high
enough for use at 5 volts. High
gain capability at 1 V, 1 mA makes
these devices a good fit for
900 MHz pager applications.
The AT-3 series bipolar transistors
are fabricated using an optimized
version of Agilent’s 10 GHz fT,
30 GHz fMAX Self-Aligned-
Transistor (SAT) process. The die
are nitride passivated for surface
protection. Excellent device
uniformity, performance and
reliability are produced by the use
of ion-implantation, self-alignment
techniques, and gold metalization
in the fabrication of these devices.
