Low VCEsat (BISS) transistors

These Breakthrough In Small-Signal (BISS) transistors offer best-in-class ef ciency, therefore getting the heat out of your applications. These cost-effective alternatives to medium-power transistors deliver 1 – 5 A capability in SOT223 (SC-73), SOT89 (SC-62),

SOT23 or SOT457 (SC-74).

Key features

- Reduced thermal and electrical resistance- Up to 5 A collector current capability IC- Up to 10 A peak collector current ICM- High performance to boardspace ratio- High current gain hFE - even at high IC- Extensive range of products available

Key bene ts

- Less heat generation and therefore use at high ambient temperatures possible- Cost effective replacement of medium power transistors

- Increased performance from small-signal discrete footprints

Key applications

- Applications where heat is a concern (e.g. engine- or dashboard mounted components)

- High and low side switches, e.g. in control

units

- Drivers in low supply voltage applications,

e.g. fans, motors

- Inductive load drivers, e.g. relays, buzzers- MOSFET drivers
