Product Brief
The BFP640F is linear very low noise wideband NPN bipolar RF transistor. The device is based on Infineon’s reliable high volume silicon germanium carbon (SiGe:C) heterojunction bipolar technology. The collector design supports voltages up to VCE = 4.1 V and currents up to IC = 50 mA. With its high linearity at currents as low as 10 mA (see Fig. 5-8) the device supports energy efficient designs. The typical transition frequency is approximately 40 GHz, hence the device offers high power gain at frequencies up to 8 GHz in amplifier applications. The device is housed in a thin small flat plastic package with visible leads.
