LOW COST
NEC's NE856 series of NPN epitaxial silicon transistors is
designed for low cost amplifier and oscillator applications. Low
noise figures, high gain, and high current capability equate to
wide dynamic range and excellent linearity. The NE856 series
offers excellent performance and reliability at low cost. This is
achieved by NEC's titanium/platinum/gold metallization sys-
tem and their direct nitride passivated base surface process.
The NE856 series is available in chip form and a Micro-x
package for high frequency applications. It is also available in
several low cost plastic package styles.
