This new series of digital transistors is designed to replace a single device and its external resistor bias network. The BRT (Bias Resistor Transistor) contains a single transistor with a monolithic bias network consisting of two resistors; a series base resistor and a base−emitter resistor. The BRT eliminates these individual components by integrating them into a single device. The use of a BRT can reduce both system cost and board space. The device is housed in the SC−59 package which is designed for low power surface mount applications.

Features

• Simplifies Circuit Design

• Reduces Board Space

• Reduces Component Count

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1
