BFS17 going away

Sep 03, 2020 1 Replies

NXP has discontinued the BFS17, which is no big surprise, but now I find Infineon is listing them as NRND. That leaves only Diodes still actively producing them.

I just designed a couple into the Colpitts oscillator of my latest delay generator. I should buy a lot.

Fortunately, I have base resistors so I guess I could use some newer hot part. There still are some.

The BFS17 is a nice middle-speed transistor, although the Ft specs seem to have crept up in the last few years.
