MPLUSE MP4T243

Silicon Bipolar High fT Low Noise
Medium Power 12 Volt Transistors
MP4T243 Series
V3.00
Features
•Low Phase Noise Oscillator Transistor
•200 mW Driv er Amplifier Transistor
•Operation to 8 GHz
•Av ailable as Chip
•Av ailable in Hermetic Surface Mount Packages
Description
The MP4T24300 series of high fT NPN medium power
bipolar transistors are designed for usage in oscillators
to 8 GHz and for moderate power driv er amplifiers
through 3 GHz with noise figure below 4 dB.
Case Styles
Chip
This industry standard transistor is av ailable as a chip
for hybrid oscillator circuits or in hermetic ceramic
packages for military usage. The chip and hermetic
packages may be screened to JANTXV equiv alent
lev els.
The MP4T243 transistors utilize sub-micron photolithography and locos oxidation techniques to minimize parasitic capacitances. It also reduces shot noise enabling
improv ed low noise characteristics. These transistors
use a high temperature refractory barrier/gold
metalization process. The MP4T243 transistor is emitter
ballasted using ion implanted polysilicon resistors to
prev ent emitter current hot spots at high current
operation.
