Linear Integrated Systems Launches LSBF862 to Replace and Outperform Discontinued NXP BF862
New low-noise N-channel JFET delivers 4.0nV/√Hz performance, higher breakdown voltage, special testing options, and long-term supply continuity for precision analog applications.
Linear Integrated Systems, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of precision discrete semiconductors, announces the release of the LSBF862, a low noise N-channel JFET engineered to replace and outperform the discontinued NXP BF862.
When NXP discontinued the BF862, a popular low-noise N-channel JFET, customers faced lost support for legacy systems, the need to requalify new components, and unplanned end-of-life orders to maintain product continuity.
The LSBF862 provides designers a combination 4.0nV/√Hz @ 10hz (Max) lower noise performance, a higher minimum 40V gate-source breakdown voltage than its predecessor and high input impedance.
New special testing is available for key DC parameters, including Vgs(off) and IDSS, allowing designers to customize their circuit performance beyond standard datasheet limits. This option is offered for both SOT-23 packaged and bare-die versions of the LSBF862.
Built on a radiation-tolerant JFET process, the LSBF862 delivers reliable performance in demanding environments without the need for additional processing steps.
The LSBF862 is recommended for demanding analog applications requiring low noise, high precision, and accuracy, including audio, instrumentation, medical instrumentation, underwater acoustic, sensor, and test & measurement systems.
"The LSBF862 gives design engineers and procurement departments, higher performance and long-term supply continuity," said Cindy Johnson, CEO.
