General Description

The LM3046 consists of five general purpose silicon NPN

transistors on a common monolithic substrate. Two of the

transistors are internally connected to form a differentiallyconnected

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 LM3046 is supplied

in a 14-lead molded small outline package.
