LSU308

N-CHANNEL JFET

Linear Systems replaces discontinued Siliconix U308

The LSU308 is a high frequency n-channel JFET

offering a wide range and low noise performance. The

hermetically sealed TO-18 package is well suited for

high reliability and harsh environment applications.

(See Packaging Information).

LSU308 Applications:

UHV / VHF Amplifiers

Mixers

Oscillators

LSU308 Benefits:

High Power Low Noise gain

Dynamic Range greater than 100dB

Easily matched to 75Ω input

Micross Components Europe

Available Packages:

LSU308 in TO-18

LSU308 in bare die.

Please contact Micross for full

package and die dimensions

Note 1 ‐ Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values above which LSU308 serviceability may be impaired.  

Note 2 ‐ Pulse test : PW ≤ 300µs, Duty Cycle ≤ 3% 

Note 3 ‐ Measured at optimum input noise match
