BFU550R Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BFU550R is an NPN wideband silicon RF transistor from NXP Semiconductors, designed for high speed and low noise applications up to 2 GHz. It is part of the BFU5 family and is AEC-Q101 qualified. Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (Vceo) of 12 V, collector-base breakdown voltage (Vcbo) of 24 V, and emitter-base breakdown voltage (Vebo) of 2 V. The maximum collector current is 50 mA, and total power dissipation is 450 mW at a solder point temperature of 87 °C. The transistor offers a transition frequency (ft) of 11 GHz, maximum stable gain of 21 dB, and a minimum noise figure of 0.7 dB, all measured at 900 MHz. DC current gain (hFE) is 60 minimum at 15 mA and 8 V. Collector capacitance is 0.72 pF typical, and output power at 1 dB compression is 13.5 dBm typical. The device is housed in a plastic SOT143B surface mount package with dual emitter pins for improved RF performance. Typical applications include broadband amplifiers, low noise amplifiers for ISM bands, and oscillators.
