1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BFT25A is a silicon NPN transistor, primarily intended for use in RF low power
amplifiers, such as pocket telephones and paging systems with signal frequencies up
to2GHz.
The transistor is encapsulated in a 3-pin plastic SOT23 envelope.
1.2 Features and benefits
Low current consumption (100 A to 1 mA)
Low noise figure
Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.
1.3 Quick reference data
