Bias Resistor Transistor

PNP Silicon Surface Mount Transistor with Monolithic Bias Resistor Network

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–70/SOT–323 package which is designed for low power surface mount applications.

• Simplifies Circuit Design

• Reduces Board Space

• Reduces Component Count

• The SC–70/SOT–323 package can be soldered using wave or reflow.

The modified gull–winged leads absorb thermal stress during soldering eliminating the possibility of damage to the die.
