RN2964(TE85L,F)

Overview

The RN2964(TE85L,F) is a pre-biased NPN/PNP transistor pair manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It integrates two transistors with built-in biasing resistors in a compact surface-mount package, designed for switching applications. The device offers a total power dissipation of 0.1W, combining space-saving integration with reliable performance for digital signal processing and logic interface circuits.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual NPN and PNP transistors with internal biasing resistors
• Provides compact surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs
• Simplifies circuit design by eliminating external resistor requirements

Applications

• Digital logic level shifting interfaces
• General-purpose switching circuits
• Microcontroller output buffering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TE85L,F against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel specifications and lead-free compliance. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical characteristics required for the target application, as minor variations may exist between distribution channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined NPN/PNP configuration with integrated biasing is required to minimize board space. Consider the 0.1W power dissipation limit and the specific current gain requirements relative to the load. Verify that the package dimensions align with the PCB footprint constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to Toshiba's series of pre-biased transistor arrays. These devices are engineered to replace discrete transistor-resistor networks, reducing component count and assembly time. The RN2964 specifically addresses applications needing both NPN and PNP switching capabilities within a single small outline package.

Replacement Considerations
