TYPICAL LOW PASS TRANSISTOR APPLICATION
The MJE1123 was designed to operate as a low pass transistor in conjunction with the LT1123 offered by Linear Technology Corporation. Together they provide several excellent advantages:
ÐA dropout voltage below 50 mV at 1.0 amp, increasing to only 225 mV at 4.0 amps, typically.
ÐLine and load regulation are within 5.0 mV.
ÐInitial output accuracy is better than 1 percent.
ÐFull short circuit protection is included.
Ð Base drive loss is less than 2% of output current . . . even at 4.0 full amps output.
ÐThe high gain and excellent collector±emitter saturation voltage make the combination better than monolithic devices.
