1. Introduction
The BFU5xxX transistor family is designed to meet the latest requirements on high frequency
applications (up to approximately 1.5 GHz) such as communication, automotive and industrial
equipment.
As soon as fast, low noise analogue signal processing is required, combined with medium to high
voltage swings, the BFU5xxX transistors are the perfect choice. Due to the high gain at low supply
current those types can also be applied very well in battery fed equipment.
Compared to previous Philips / NXP transistor generations and competitor products, improvements
on gain, noise and thermal properties are realized. BFU5xxX transistors will be available in various
packages.
The transistors will be promoted with a full promotion package, called “starter kits” (one kit type per
package-type). Those kits include two PCB’s (one with grounded emitter, one with emitter
degeneration provision), RF connectors, transistors and simulation model parameters required to
perform simulations. See the overview of available starter kits in the table below.

2.2 PCB’s example for BFU5xx series LNA
Fig 2. PCB’s BFU5-- series populated board, example 433MHz LNA in SOT143 package
3. Target applications for starter kit PCB’s
Basically the PCB’s are designed to accommodate an RF amplifier. These could be:
1) LNA’s
2) Generic RF Amplifiers, small signal, small band
3) Wide band amplifiers (by applying feedback)
4) Amplifiers for large signal (using for example BFU550 types).

3.1 Basic schematic for Grounded Emitter versions (VGE0x)
Fig 3. Schematic Amplifier design VGE
Remarks:
- Not all components are required, depends on amplifier/matching configuration
- Input and output considered to be 50 Ohms characteristic impedance (SMA type)
- Generic PI or T matching network at input and output possible
- Basically on all BFU5xx series amplifier EVB’s this schematic is applied, small variations on
implementation are possible

4. PCB drawings for all versions
On all PCB’s, except SOT143XR types the same circuit can be applied. On all PCB’s
except the SOT323, 0603 footprints for capacitors/inductors/resistors are implemented.
For SOT323 types this is reduced to 0402 because of the smaller size transistor
package.
