AT-42010

Up to 6 GHz Medium Power Silicon Bipolar Transistor Technical Data AT-42010 Features • High Output Power: 12.0 dBm Typical P1 dB at 2.0 GHz 20.5 dBm Typical P1 dB at 4.0 GHz • High Gain at 1 dB Compression: 14.0 dB Typical G1 dB at 2.0 GHz 9.5 dB Typical G1 dB at 4.0 GHz • Low Noise Figure: 1.9 dB Typical NFO at 2.0 GHz • High Gain-Bandwidth Product: 8.0 GHz Typical fT • Hermetic Gold-ceramic Microstrip Package functions. The 20 emitter finger interdigitated geometry yields a medium sized transistor with impedances that are easy to match for low noise and medium power applications. This device is designed for use in low noise, wideband amplifier, mixer and oscillator applications in the VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies. An optimum noise match near 50 Ω up to 1 GHz , makes this device easy to use as a low noise amplifier. The AT-42010 bipolar transistor is fabricated using Hewlett-Packard’s 10 GHz fT Self-Aligned-Transistor (SAT) process. The die is nitride passivated for surface protection. Excellent device uniformity, performance and reliability are produced by the use of ionimplantation, self-alignment techniques, and gold metalization in the fabrication of this device. 100 mil Package Description Hewlett-Packard’s AT-42010 is a general purpose NPN bipolar transistor that offers excellent high frequency performance. The AT-42010 is housed in a hermetic, high reliability 100 mil ceramic package. The 4 micron emitter-toemitter pitch enables this transistor to be used in many different 5965-8910E 4-154 AT-42010 Absolute Maximum Ratings [1] Symbol VEBO VCBO VCEO IC PT Tj TSTG Parameter Emitter-Base Voltage Collector-Base Voltage Collector-Emitter Voltage Collector Current Power Dissipation [2,3] Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Units V V V mA mW °C °C Absolute Maximum 1.5 20 12 80 600 200 -65 to 200 Thermal Resistance [2,4]: θjc = 150°C/W Notes: 1. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. 2. TCASE = 25°C. 3. Derate at 6.7 mW/°C for TC > 110°C. 4. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of θjc than do alternate methods. See MEASUREMENTS section “Thermal Resistance” for more information.
