BFU590GX Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BFU590GX is an NPN wideband silicon RF transistor designed for high-speed, medium-power applications up to 2 GHz. It is part of the BFU5 family of transistors and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 12V (open base) or 24V (shorted base), a maximum collector current of 200mA, and a power dissipation of 2W at a solder point temperature of 90°C. The transistor offers a typical DC current gain (hFE) of 95 at 80mA and 8V, a transition frequency (fT) of 8.5 GHz, and a typical maximum power gain of 13 dB at 900 MHz. The typical output power at 1dB gain compression is 21.5 dBm at 900 MHz.

 

The BFU590GX is housed in a surface-mount SOT223 package (also known as SC-73 or TO-261-4), making it suitable for automated assembly. It is designed for broadband amplifiers, medium power amplifiers, and large signal amplifiers for ISM applications.
