DESCRIPTION
BFG520/X (Fig.1) Code: N42
NPN silicon planar epitaxial
transistors, intended for applications
in the RF frontend in the GHz range,
such as analog and digital cellular
telephones, cordless telephones
(CT1, CT2, DECT, etc.), radar
detectors, pagers and satellite TV
tuners (SATV) and repeater
amplifiers in fibre-optic systems.

Data Sheet Status
Objective specification
This data sheet contains target or goal specifications for product development.
Preliminary specification
This data sheet contains preliminary data; supplementary data may be published later.
Product specification
This data sheet contains final product specifications.
Limiting values
Limiting values given are in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134). Stress above one or
