NPN Transistor Question

Jun 05, 2015 34 Replies

Being in the I/C biz, I don't keep up very well with what is available in the discrete transistor world.



What I'm looking for is a _readily_available_ NPN, highest fT, VCE < 15V, IC < 10mA



Suggestions?



Thanks! ...Jim Thompson

| 1962 | I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.


BFP840--80 GHz, 5000 in stock at Digikey, about 30 cents.

BFP640FESD has BVces > 13V. Only 65 GHz.

That practically oscillates just laying on the table!

They're really amazing at low current, though. High Early voltage, good beta ar low current.

If I had a PNP to match, I could make the world's fastest SCR.

13V?? 4V 46GHz ??
Thanks, - Win

I said BVces, which by my datasheet is 13V. BVceo is much less. I quoted fT from memory, but was getting it mixed up with another device. Thanks for the corection!

What about the age-old standby, the 2N2222?

You missed the same thing I did. Highest fT.

250MHz may fall a litle short

Why not suggest the OC71?
