Features
• NPN Transistor (fT) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8.5GHz
The HFA3134 and HFA3135 are Ultra High Frequency
Transistor pairs that are fabricated with Intersil Corporation’s
complementary bipolar UHF-1X process. The NPN
transistors exhibit an fT of 8.5GHz, while the PNP transistors
have an fT of 7GHz. Both types exhibit low noise, making
them ideal for high frequency amplifier and mixer
applications.
Both arrays are matched high frequency transistor pairs. The
matching simplifies DC bias problems and it minimizes
imbalances in differential amplifier configurations. Their high
fT enables the design of UHF amplifiers which exhibit
exceptional stability.

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.
NOTE:
1. θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.
2. If a transistor is used in a diode configuration, the collector must be connected to the base to avoid exceeding the maximum base current specification.
