ZTX849STZ

ZTX849STZ is a pre-amplified, long-tailed, differential pair type of single, bipolor junction transistor (BJT). This type of bipolar transistors exhibits two separate, active emitter-base junctions with the common, or shared, collector. The BJT are utilized in numerous low-level applications and in some cases, for high-frequency, wideband switching. A few of the main applications for the ZTX849STZ BJT include: radio and television signal amplifiers, current-sensing circuitry, complementary and push-pull output stages, input stages for audio amplifiers, and low-analog signal level applications.

The ZTX849STZ BJT offers excellent electrical performance attributes while maintaining good linearity and signal fidelity. It provides a high gain rating of 19. This enables users to get better operational performance with low noise and high signal uniformity.

The operation of a bipolar junction transistor is based on the flow of electrons between two N-type regions, also known as emitter and collector regions in BJT, and a P-type region, known as the base. The anode region consists of two elements connected together, which makes the circuit a two-terminal device. This is commonly referred to as a unified base-collector junction, but can also be referred to as a “common base” or “common emitter” configuration. A small amount of current flows through the base-emitter junction and creates a small voltage which is applied across the base-collector junction. This voltage interprets into a current flowing through the collector-anode circuit. As more current flows through the base-emitter junction, it creates a larger drop in the collector circuit, increasing the current. The base-emitter junction of a BJT has a built-in potential known as the barrier potential or the BAE.

The ZTX849STZ BJT has a current amplification factor of beta, which is the ratio of the output base current flow to the input base current flow. This factor is directly related to how much of the output current is amplified by the device’s base current. The higher the BAE value, the lower the current amplification factor, and vice versa. The device’s BAE can be increased or decreased by detecting a small change in the collector current. This can create a bigger change in the output current since the current is amplified depending on the BAE of the device.

In addition to this, the ZTX849STZ BJT also offers some protection features, such as overload protection and fail-safe protection. The overload protection feature helps prevent the BJT from being damaged due to any overvoltage or overcurrent conditions, while the fail-safe protection feature helps protect the device from any dangerous open collector conditions, providing the user an extra layer of protection.

The ZTX849STZ bipolar junction transistor operates well in low-power, low-voltage, low-frequency application, such as radio and television signal amplifiers, current-sensing circuitry, and low-analog signal level applications. It is also well-suited for complementary and push-pull output stages, making it a great choice for high-frequency, wideband switching applications. Its 19 gain rating provides users with good linearity, low noise, and high signal uniformity. Moreover, the protection features built-in in the ZTX849STZ offer users with additional protection from any overvoltage or overcurrent conditions, while being able to effectively detect small changes in the collector current.
