AT-41532
General Purpose, Low Current NPN Silicon Bipolar Transistor
Data Sheet
Description
Avago’s AT-41532 is a general purpose NPN bipolar transis-
tor that has been optimized for maximum ft at low voltage
operation, making it ideal for use in battery powered
applications in cellular/PCS and other wireless markets.
The AT-41532 uses the miniature 3-lead SOT-323 (SC-70)
plastic package.
Optimized performance at 5 V makes this device ideal
for use in 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, and 2.4 GHz systems. Typical
amplifier design at 900 MHz yields 1 dB NF and 15.5 dB as-
sociated gain at 5 V and 5 mA bias. High gain capability
at 1 V and 1 mA makes this device a good fit for 900 MHz
pager applications. A good noise match near 50 ohms at
900 MHz makes this a very user-friendly device. Moreover,
voltage breakdowns are high enough to support operation
at 10 V.
The AT-41532 belongs to Avago’s AT-4XXXX series bipolar
transistors. It exhibits excellent device uniformity, per-
formance, and reliability as a result of ion-implantation,
self-alignment techniques, and gold metalization in the
fabrication process.
