Philips BLF278 VHF Push-Pull Power MOS Transistor Datasheet
The document is a product specification for the BLF278, a VHF push-pull power MOS transistor manufactured by Philips Semiconductors. It describes the device as a dual silicon N-channel enhancement mode vertical D-MOS transistor encapsulated in an SOT262A1 balanced flange package with two ceramic caps.
The datasheet provides comprehensive technical data including quick reference performance figures for CW class-B, class-C, and class-AB operations. It details limiting values such as maximum drain-source voltage (110 V) and total power dissipation (500 W), along with thermal characteristics and electrical parameters like transconductance and capacitance.
