Subjects (major changes since last revision)
This data sheet replaces the revision from 2007-04-20. The reason for the new revision is to increase
the information content for the circuit designer. The performance parameters are now enlisted in a
table containing many relevant application frequencies. The measurements of typical devices have
been repeated and the device description has been expanded by adding several new characteristic
curves. For customers who bought the product prior to the issue of the new revision the old
specifications remain valid.

Product Brief
1
Product Brief
The BFP740F is a linear very low noise wideband NPN bipolar RF transistor. The device is based on Infineon’s
reliable high volume silicon germanium carbon (SiGe:C) heterojunction bipolar technology. The collector design
supports voltages up to VCE = 4 V and currents up to IC = 45 mA. With its high linearity at currents as low as 10
mA (see Fig. 5-8) the device supports energy efficient designs. The typical transition frequency is approximately
45 GHz, hence the device offers high power gain at frequencies up to 10 GHz in amplifier applications. The device
is housed in a thin small flat plastic package with visible leads.

1) TS is the soldering point temperature. TS is measured on the emitter lead at the soldering point of the pcb.
Attention: Stresses above the max. values listed here may cause permanent damage to the device.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability. Maximum ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may
cause irreversible damage to the integrated circuit.

Simulation Data
For the SPICE Gummel Poon (GP) model as well as for the S-parameters (including noise parameters) please
refer to our internet website. Please consult our website and download the latest versions before actually starting
your design.
You find the BFP740F SPICE GP model in the internet in MWO- and ADS-format, which you can import into these
circuit simulation tools very quickly and conveniently. The model already contains the package parasitics and is
ready to use for DC and high frequency simulations. The terminals of the model circuit correspond to the pin
configuration of the device.
The model parameters have been extracted and verified up to 10 GHz using typical devices. The BFP740F SPICE
GP model reflects the typical DC- and RF-performance within the limitations which are given by the SPICE GP
model itself. Besides the DC characteristics all S-parameters in magnitude and phase, as well as noise figure
(including optimum source impedance, equivalent noise resistance and flicker noise) and intermodulation have
been extracted.
