NSC LM3146

LM3146 High Voltage Transistor Array
General Description
Features
The LM3146 consists of five high voltage general purpose
silicon NPN transistors on a common monolithic substrate.
Two of the transistors are internally connected to form a
differentially-connected pair. The transistors are well suited
to a wide variety of applications in low power system in the
dc through VHF range. They may be used as discrete transistors in conventional circuits however, in addition, they
provide the very significant inherent integrated circuit advantages of close electrical and thermal matching. The
LM3146 is supplied in a 14-lead molded dual-in-line package for applications requiring only a limited temperature
range.

Note 1: The collector of each transistor is isolated from the substrate by an integral diode. The substrate must be connected to a voltage which is more negative
than any collector voltage in order to maintain isolation between transistors and provide normal transistor action. To avoid undesired coupling between transistors,
the substrate terminal should be maintained at either dc or signal (ac) ground. A suitable bypass capacitor can be used to establish a signal ground.
Note 2: If the transistors are forced into zener breakdown (V(BR)EBO), degradation of forward transfer current ratio (hFE) can occur.
Note 3: See curve.
