STX790A
Medium current, high performance, low voltage PNP transistor
Features
■ Very low collector to emitter saturation voltage
■ DC current gain, h_FE > 100
■ 3 A continuous collector current
■ 40 V breakdown voltage V_(BR)CER
Applications
■ Power management in portable equipment

Description
The devices are manufactured in low voltage PNP
planar technology by using a “Base Island” layout.
The resulting transistor shows exceptional high
gain performance coupled with very low
saturation voltage. The STX790AG-AP is supplied
using halogen-free molding compound.
