Product Brief
The BFP720 is a wideband Silicon Germanium Carbon (SiGe:C) NPN Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) in
a plastic 4-pin dual emitter SOT343 package. The device combines very high gain with lowest noise figure at low
operating current for use in a wide range of wireless applications. The BFP720 is especially well-suited for portable
battery-powered applications in which reduced power consumption is a key requirement. Collector design
supports operation voltages from 1.0 V to 4.0 V.

Note: Exceeding only one of the above maximum rating limits even for a short moment may cause permanent
damage to the device. Even if the device continues to operate, its lifetime may be considerably shortened.
Maximum ratings are stress ratings only and do not mean unaffected functional operation and lifetime at
others than standard operation conditions.
