3A bipolar transistors in 2x2mm DFN2020D-3 package

Nexperia DFN2020D-3 package

Nexperia has announced 20 bipolar power transistors in 2 x 2mm DFN2020D-3 packaging, half of them automotive-qualified. The span 50 and 80V ratings, 1 to 3A currents and both npn and pnp polarities. “DFN2020D-3 packaged devices deliver an 80% reduction in board space when compared to SOT89, and a 90% reduction compared to SOT223,” according to the company. “The package ...

Someone, please explain how this two-npn voltage reference works

EinW odd Vref LM311 data sheet

I was digging around in the LM311 (and LM111, LM211) comparator data sheet, and came across this unusual voltage reference (diag right). It consists of an npn cascsode pair of transistors, the top one connected (collector to base) as a diode, and the two bases tied together. I have no idea how this works, and am going slightly bonkers trying ...

500mA dual bipolar transistor include base resistors

Nexperia dual bipolar with base resistors

Nexperia has announced a series of 500mA dual bipolar transistors that include base resistors within the 2 x 2 x 0.65mm package – there is a choice of SOT1118 (DFN2020-6) or AEC-Q101 automotive qualified versions in SOT1118D (DFN2020D-6) with wettable flanks. There are 12 devices, giving every combination of: package, NPN+NPN, NPN+PNP or PNP+PNP pairing and 1 or 2.2kΩ series ...
