Transistors - Bipolar (BJT) - Single

The BC549CBU is a bipolar transistor (BJT) within the Single, Base-Collector-Emitter (BCE) family. It is an enhancement type, bipolar power transistor with the metal-to-silicon, N-type construction. It uses a BCB (Base-Collector-Base) structure to achieve maximum collector current to best suit the requirements of applications in the industrial, consumer, and automotive markets. In circuits like diodes, the junction is made of a semiconducting material such as silicon, which has two main characteristics. One is that current can pass in one direction more easily than the other and the other is that when current passes in one direction, the voltage drops and current can pass in the other direction only if the voltage rises above a certain value.

The functioning of the BC549CBU requires a voltage difference of at least 0.6 volts between the base and collector. For example, when the base voltage is 0.6 volts higher than the collector, the current in the collector-base junction will be increased and the collector current will increase. As the collector voltage rises, the current in the emitter base junction will increase as well, resulting in an increase in the emitter current. The opposite is true when the base voltage is lower than the collector voltage.

BC549CBU has a maximum collector current of 500mA, making it best suited for low-voltage applications, like audio amplifiers, drivers and voltage supervisors. It is also used in switching applications that require fast turn-on and off, small size and fast switching over a long lifetime. Its maximum collector-emitter voltage is 40V and the power dissipation of the BC549CBU is 500mW.

In its application field, the BC549CBU can be used in electronic circuits such as audio amplifiers, voltage supervisors, drivers and switching applications. It is also ideal for use in mobile applications due to its small size, low voltage and power dissipation. In switching applications, the BC549CBU can be used for PWM control, scaler and comparator functions, pulse modulation and pulse stretching.

The BC549CBU has an integrated ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection of 8 kV, making it ideal for use in high-voltage applications. This protection feature ensures the transistors will not be damaged during operations on high-impedance lines or when high boost voltages are applied. In addition, the BC549CBU also has integrated thermal overload monitoring, which helps protect the transistor from damage due to overloads. Furthermore, the BC549CBU can operate in temperatures up to about 175°C.

In conclusion, the BC549CBU is a low-voltage, bipolar transistor that can be used in audio amplifiers, voltage supervisors, drivers and switching applications. It is a powerful device that can efficiently convert a small current into a large one, and its integrated ESD protection and thermal overload monitoring features make it best suited for use in high-performance, high-voltage applications.
