BGC420
DescriptionThe BGC420 is a silicon self biased RF Transistor (Q1). It offers an adjustable collector current
nearly independent from device voltage in the range from 2.0V to 4.5V. Additionally a control pin
(Vc) for switching the device off is provided. The collector current can be adjusted by connecting a
resistor (Rx) between Vcc and Vr.

Typical Application
Remarks:1) To provide low frequency stability C2 should be 10 times C3.
2) Be aware that also coupling capacitors determine the switching times.
3) The collector current at Q1 can be estimated by Ic=0.6V / Rx[W].Place C2 as close to the device as possible.
