NPN pre-biased transistor with integrated bias network
It integrates two 22 kOhm resistors — one in series with the base (R1) and one between base and emitter (R2) — which eliminates the need for external bias components in low-current switching and driver applications. Collector-emitter breakdown voltage is rated at 50 V, maximum collector current at 100 mA, and the device dissipates up to 250 mW. Transition frequency is 130 MHz, making it suitable for switching up to low-MHz rates. The built-in resistor network simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count in digital output stages, relay drivers, and logic-level interface circuits.
NRND — last-time-buy window is open
For new designs, Infineon recommends evaluating current-production pre-biased transistor families. For existing BOMs, independent distribution can source remaining stock.
Vce saturation is specified at 300 mV maximum with a base current of 500 µA and collector current of 10 mA. That low saturation voltage keeps power dissipation low in the on-state. The 100 nA maximum collector cutoff current (ICBO) ensures negligible leakage in off-state at high temperature, important for battery-powered or high-impedance nodes.
