March 18, 2008- Central Semiconductor announces the release of the FEMTOmini™ CMNT3904E (NPN) and CMNT3906E (PNP) Low V_CE(SAT) transistors, packaged in the ultra tiny SOT-953 surface mount package. These new transistors are designed with enhanced specifications including: a maximum Collector-Base Voltage of 60V (Standard PNP devices are 40V max.), a maximum Emitter-Base Voltage of 6.0V (standard PNP devices are 5.0V max.), and a maximum V_CE(SAT) of 0.2V at 50mA (standard devices are 0.3V for NPN and 0.4V for PNP).

With these newly enhanced specifications, the CMNT3904E and CMNT3906E are ideal for portable battery powered applications requiring an energy efficient transistor in an ultra small package. Applications include: DC-DC converters, switching and driver circuits, temperature sensing, small signal amplification and switching, and LED backlighting. The SOT-953 has a maximum package profile of 0.5mm and utilizes 62% less board space than the SOT-523 package.  

The CMNT3904E and CMNT3906E transistors are available on 7 ” Tape & Reel. Prices start at $0.08 each for 8,000 pcs on a 7 ” reel. Sample devices are available upon request. Click here to order samples
