Description

The devices are manufactured in low voltage PNP planar technology by using a “Base Island” layout. The resulting transistor shows exceptional high gain performance coupled with very low saturation voltage. The STX790AG-AP is supplied using halogen-free molding compound.

Features

■ Very low collector to emitter saturation voltage

■ DC current gain, hFE > 100

■ 3 A continuous collector current

■ 40 V breakdown voltage V(BR)CER

Applications

■ Power management in portable equipment

■ Voltage regulation in bias supply circuits

■ Switching regulator in battery charger applications

■ Heavy load driver
