OK, we're fans as well, they'll go into 2x. -- Thanks, - Win

Here's a couple of On Semi's low Vce sat bjt's.They are a little pricey but still cheaper then diodes comparable FMMT series. The only reason I have them is Newark puts them on sale time to time like right now I see. NSS40201LT1G - NPN 40V 4A SOT-23 http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/NSS40201L-D.PDF Complement NSS40200LT1G- -PNP 40V 4A SOT-23 http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/NSS40200L-D.PDF Two more of On semis low Vce sat bjt's I have are below . They are SOT-223 though. Reasonably priced to. NJT4031N - NPN 40V 3A SOT-23 http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/NJT4031N.PDF Complement NJT4030P - PNP 40V 3A SOT-23 http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/NJT4030P-D.PDF

Unlike Zetex, who often makes you do with one page. Have you noticed the way these parts present you with Rds(on) values? Like 80 m-ohms for the NSS40200? I like that. Sure, trying to compare to a MOSFET, but hey, characterizing the high-current saturation-voltage upswing as a resistance is really the right way to go. Doing a quick look right now, I couldn't even find a sot-23 MOSFET with Rds(on) = 0.08 ohms or less (they were bigger), let alone one going for $0.90 each, qty 100. Nice. -- Thanks, - Win

There is one place for those fast transistor, tranquilized by GHz damping circuits close to the transistor: when you need very low noise at intermediate frequencies. As an instance, the voltage noise of the SiGe BFP650 can be less than 1/4 nanovolt. An example spectrum is found in fig.4 of www.24.fi/kiviranta/xeus/vtt_ltd13pap_f.pdf (now out in AIP Conf. Proc. vol. 1185) . NESG3031 is another nice device in this respect. Regards, Mikko

Fig 4 is impressive, but "base grounded" implies that it will be useful only for very low source impedances. Transformers get interesting in such situations, or *lots* of opamps or jfets in parallel, which will be better at low frequencies. John |
