Bias Resistor Transistor
NPN 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–59 package which is designed for low power surface mount applications. • Simplifies Circuit Design • Reduces Board Space • Reduces Component Count • The SC–59 package can be soldered using wave or reflow.
