Computer Monitors
Available in TO-220 Package
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS232 is an RF type small signal bipolar transistor designed for use in high performance applications such as
advanced color CRT monitor drivers that require both high frequency and high voltage. The use of fully ion implanted
technology and silicon nitride passivation makes the AMS232 a highly reliable device. For a complimentary PNP transistor in
applications where the matching characteristics are important use AMS264.
