Description
The THAT 300, 320 and 340 are large geometry, 4-transistor, monolithic NPN and/or PNP arrays. They exhibit both high speed and low noise, with excellent parameter matching between transistors of the same gender. Typical base-spreading resistance is 25 Ω for the PNP devices (30 Ω for the low-gain NPNs), so their resulting voltage noise is under 1 n V/√Hz. This makes the 300 series ideally suited for low-noise amplifier input stages, log amplifiers, and many other applications. The four-NPN transistor array is available in versions selected for hfe with minimums of 150 (300A) or 300 (300B).
Fabricated in a dielectrically isolated, plementary bipolar process, each transistor is electrically insulated from the others by a layer of insulating oxide (not the reverse-biased PN junctions used in conventional arrays). As a result, they exhibit inter-device crosstalk and DC isolation similar to that of discrete transistors. The resulting low collector-to-substrate capacitance produces a typical NPN f T of 350 MHz (325 MHz for the PNPs). Substrate biasing is not required for normal operation, though the substrate should be ac-grounded to optimize speed and minimize crosstalk.
