Pre-biased NPN — integrated bias resistors simplify the BOM
This is an NPN pre-biased transistor in a SOT-723 surface-mount package (PG-TSFP-3). The base resistor (R1) and emitter-base resistor (R2) are both 47 kOhms, integrated on-chip. This eliminates two external resistors from the BOM and shrinks the board footprint for switching and interface applications where the base drive is fixed.
The 100 MHz transition frequency suits low-to-mid speed switching up to a few MHz.
SOT-723 footprint — layout and rework notes
The SOT-723 package (Infineon code PG-TSFP-3) is a three-lead, leadless surface-mount package. The small pad geometry demands careful solder paste volume control.
