BCP55 BCP55 C E C B SOT-223 NPN General Purpose Amplifier This device is designed for general purpose medium power amplifiers and switching circuits requiring collector currents to 1.0 A. Sourced from Process 38. See BCP54 for characteristics. Absolute Maximum Ratings* Symbol TA = 25C unless otherwise noted Parameter Value Units 60 V VCEO Collector-Emitter Voltage VCBO Collector-Base Voltage 60 V VEBO Emitter-Base Voltage 5.0 V IC Collector Current - Continuous TJ, Tstg Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range 1.5 A -55 to +150 C *These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired. NOTES: 1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees C. 2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
