FN662.5
High Frequency NPN Transistor Array
Features
The CA3127 consists of five general purpose silicon NPN
transistors on a common monolithic substrate. Each of the
completely isolated transistors exhibits low 1/f noise and a
value of fT in excess of 1GHz, making the CA3127 useful
from DC to 500MHz. Access is provided to each of the
terminals for the individual transistors and a separate
substrate connection has been provided for maximum
application flexibility. The monolithic construction of the
CA3127 provides close electrical and thermal matching of
the five transistors.

material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100%
matte tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and
compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow
temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of

CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. The collector of each transistor of the CA3127 is isolated from the substrate by an integral diode. The substrate (Terminal 5) must be connected to
the most negative point in the external circuit to maintain isolation between transistors and to provide for normal transistor action.
2. θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.

NOTE:
3. When used as a zener for reference voltage, the device must not be subjected to more than 0.1mJ of energy from any possible capacitance or
electrostatic discharge in order to prevent degradation of the junction. Maximum operating zener current should be less than 10mA.

4. This circuit was chosen because it conveniently
represents a close approximation in performance to a
properly unilateralized single transistor of this type. The
use of Q3 in a current-mirror configuration facilitates
simplified biasing. The use of the cascode circuit in no
way implies that the transistors cannot be used
individually.
