UTC 2SD879 NPN EPITAXIAL SILICON TRANSISTOR 1.5V, 3V STROBE APPLICATIONS DESCRIPTION The UTC 2SD879 is a NPN epitaxial silicon transistor, designed for 1.5V and 3V strobe applications. FEATURES *In applications where two NiCd batteries are used to provide 2.4V, two 2SD879s are used. *The charge time is approximately 1 second faster than that of germanium transistors. *Less power dissipation because of lwo Collector-to-Emitter Voltage VCE(sat), permitting more flashes of light to be emitted. *Large current capacity and highly resistant to break-down. *Excellent linearity of hFE in the region from low current to high current. 1 SOT-89 1:EMITTER 2:COLLECTOR 3:BASE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS ( Ta=25C ,unless otherwise specified ) PARAMETER SYMBOL Collector-Base Voltage Collector-Emitter Voltage Collector-Emitter Voltage Emitter-Base Voltage Collector Dissipation Collector Current(DC) Collector Current(PULSE) Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Note: PULSE CONDITION -> 100 ms single pulse VCBO VCEX VCEO VEBO PD Ic Icp Tj TSTG VALUE UNIT 30 20 10 6 1 3 5 150 -55 ~ +150 V V V V W A A C C ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (Ta=25C, unless otherwise specified) PARAMETER SYMBOL TEST CONDITIONS MIN Collector-Base Voltage Collector-Emitter Voltage Collector-Emitter Voltage Emitter-Base Voltage Base-Emitter Voltage Collector Cut-Off Current Emitter Cut-Off Current DC Current Gain Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage Current Gain Bandwidth Product Output Capacitance Pulse: 1mS VCBO VCEX VCEO VEBO VBE ICBO IEBO hFE VCE(sat) fT Cob IC=10uA, IE=0 IC=1mA, VBE=3V IC=1mA, RBE= IE=10uA, IC=0 VCE=-1V,IC=-2A VCB=20V,IE=0 VEB=4V,Ic=0 VCE=2V, Ic=3A (pulse) Ic=3A,IB=60mA (pulse) VCE=10V, Ic=50mA VCB=10V,f=1MHz 30 20 10 6 UTC UNISONIC TECHNOLOGIES TYP 0.83 140 210 0.3 200 30 MAX 1.5 1 1 400 0.4 CO.
