DESCRIPTION
The NE685M23 transistor is designed for low noise, high gain, and low cost requirements. This high fT part is well suited for very low voltage/low current designs for portable wireless communications and cellular radio applications. NECs new low profile/ceramic substrate style "M23" package is ideal for todays portable wireless applications. The NE685 is also available in six different low cost plastic surface mount package styles.
