UM10772 NXP Semiconductors How to use BFU5xx starter-kit 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.

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).

UM10772 NXP Semiconductors How to use BFU5xx starter-kit 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. 4.1 Layer stack Fig 5.
