Audio Power Amplifier Applications

• High DC current gain : hFE = 140 to 600 (VCE = 2 V, IC = 0.5 A)

: hFE = 70 (min) (VCE = 2 V, IC = 4 A)
• Low saturation voltage: VCE (sat) = 1.0 V (max) (IC = 4 A, IB = 0.1 A)
• High collector power dissipation: PC = 10 W (Tc = 25°C),
PC = 1.5 W (Ta = 25°C)

Note 1: Pulse test: Pulse width = 10 ms (max) Duty cycle = 30% (max)

Note 2: Using continuously under heavy loads (e.g. the application of high temperature/current/voltage and the
significant change in temperature, etc.) may cause this product to decrease in the reliability significantly
even if the operating conditions (i.e. operating temperature/current/voltage, etc.) are within the absolute
maximum ratings.
Please design the appropriate reliability upon reviewing the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook
(“Handling Precautions”/Derating Concept and Methods) and individual reliability data (i.e. reliability test
report and estimated failure rate, etc).
