Resistor-equipped transistors (RETs)

Developed especially for the automotive sector, 500 mA RETs combine a transistor with two resistors to provide an optimal integrated solution for digital applications in automotive systems, for example control units. Also an extensive portfolio with single and double 100 mA RETs is available for standard small-signal digital applications.

Key features

- Transistor and two resistors integrated in one package

- Initial 500 mA portfolio with several resistor combinations in SOT23 and SOT346 (SC-59A)- Further resistor combinations and double versions are planned

Key bene ts

- Lower handling and inventory costs- Reduced boardspace requirements- Shorter assembly times and reduced pick-and-place efforts- Simpler design process

- Increased end product reliability due to fewer soldering points

Key applications- Digital applications

- Switching loads, e.g. for instrument clusters- Controlling IC inputs, e.g. in engine control units
