Matched pair transistors

Matched pair transistors are double transistors with matched current gain h FE1/hFE2 and matched base-emitter voltage VBE1 - VBE2. The optimal product for the most common applications is offered by means of several matching-categories and different pinning options. Internally the transistors are fully isolated.

KEY FEATUREs
- Current gain matching:
   hFE1/hFE2 = 0.7, 0.9, 0.95, 0.98
- Base-emitter voltage matching:
   VBE1 - VBE2 = 2 mV
- Standard double transistor pin-out for
   BCM-types
- Application optimized pin-out for all
   PMP-types
- Common emitter configuration for
   5pin PMP-types

Key benefits
- Improved performance of current mirror
   and differential amplifier circuits
- Drop-in replacement for standard double
   transistors (BCM-series)
- Simplified board layout (PMP-series)
- Eliminates need for costly
   additional trimming

Key applications
- Current mirror e.g. for current
   measurement or to drive LED’s with a
   constant current
- Differential amplifier e.g. sensor
   signal amplification
- Comparator e.g. for DC/DC converters
