This device is capable of working in both AC and DC operating modes, and has a maximum operating frequency of about 20MHz.

Working Principle & Features

The operation of the 2N3467 is based on the Bernoulli principle. It works on the basis of a positive biasing voltage applied to the base, producing a large current flow through the device. This current flow is then amplified and fed into the collector. The device works on the principle of negative feedback, with the current proportionally fed back to the base of the device, thus controlling the collector output current. In this way, the current in the base-emitter junction is controlled, resulting in a varying current flow between the emitter and collector.
