Product details
Overview
2SC5277D2-TL-E from onsemi is an NPN RF transistor in SMCP (SC-75/SOT-416) package, rated for VCEO = 10 V, IC = 30 mA, and fT = 8 GHz typ at VCE = 5 V, IC = 10 mA. It delivers low-noise amplification (NF = 0.9 dB typ at 1 GHz) and high gain (|S21|² = 10 dB typ at 1.5 GHz), optimized for UHF front-end LNA stages in portable wireless receivers.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC5277D2-TL-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include noise figure vs. bias current trade-offs, S-parameter stability across 0.2–2 GHz, ultrasmall footprint constraints, and hFE binning compatibility with automatic gain control loops.
Technical Context
This device employs a planar epitaxial NPN structure optimized for high-frequency small-signal amplification. Its fT of 8 GHz and |S21|² of 10 dB at 1.5 GHz confirm suitability for narrowband UHF amplification where impedance matching and noise minimization are critical.
Operation is validated across multiple bias points: VCE = 1 V / IC = 1 mA (fT = 3.5 GHz, |S21|² = 5.5 dB) enables ultra-low-power receive paths, while VCE = 5 V / IC = 10 mA supports higher-gain, higher-linearity configurations in IF or driver stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 10 V - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; sets upper limit for supply rail in LNA designs. |
| fT | 8 GHz typ - Gain-bandwidth product defining usable frequency ceiling for small-signal amplification. |
| NF | 0.9 dB typ @ 1 GHz - Low noise figure enabling high sensitivity in weak-signal reception (e.g., GPS, ISM band). |
| |S21|² | 10 dB typ @ 1.5 GHz - Forward gain magnitude confirming usable power gain in UMTS/Wi-Fi front ends. |
| Cob | 0.45–0.7 pF - Output capacitance affecting output matching network design and stability margin. |
| hFE | 60–270 - DC current gain range supporting bias stability across production lots and temperature. |
| Package | SMCP (SC-75/SOT-416) - 1.6 × 0.8 mm footprint enabling compact RF layout with minimal parasitic inductance. |
Pinout & Package
2SC5277D2-TL-E uses the SMCP (SC-75/SOT-416) surface-mount package: 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.4 mm height, 3-terminal configuration with gull-wing leads. The package supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 2 | Emitter | Common reference node; typically grounded via low-inductance path for RF stability. |
| 3 | Collector | Output node; connects to matching network and load; sensitive to parasitic capacitance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise operation | NF = 0.9 dB typ @ 1 GHz enables high-sensitivity receiver front ends without external LNAs. |
| High-frequency gain | |S21|² = 10 dB typ @ 1.5 GHz supports single-stage amplification in UMTS Band I/II applications. |
| Low-voltage bias capability | Functional at VCE = 1 V / IC = 1 mA - reduces power consumption in battery-powered IoT sensors. |
| Ultrasmall footprint | SMCP package (1.6 × 0.8 mm) allows dense RF layout and minimizes trace inductance in 50 Ω systems. |
| hFE binning | Three hFE ranks (60–120, 90–180, 135–270) support consistent bias point selection across production batches. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 2SC5277D2-TL-E?
The 2SC5277D2-TL-E has a typical gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 8 GHz at VCE = 5 V and IC = 10 mA, making it suitable for amplification up to 2 GHz with stable gain and noise performance. Measured S-parameters confirm usable |S21| > 2.7 dB up to 2 GHz under standard bias conditions, validating its use in UHF and low-band microwave applications.
How does the 2SC5277D2-TL-E achieve low noise performance at 1 GHz?
The 2SC5277D2-TL-E achieves NF = 0.9 dB typ at 1 GHz through optimized epitaxial base doping and minimized emitter-base junction capacitance. This is verified under VCE = 2 V, IC = 3 mA bias, where internal base resistance and flicker noise are suppressed-enabling high signal-to-noise ratio in GPS/GLONASS front ends without external noise-matching components.
Is the 2SC5277D2-TL-E pin-compatible with other SC-75 RF transistors?
The 2SC5277D2-TL-E uses standard SC-75 (JEITA SC-75, JEDEC SOT-416) pinout: Pin 1 = Base, Pin 2 = Emitter, Pin 3 = Collector. While mechanical and thermal dimensions match industry-standard SC-75 footprints, electrical characteristics-including hFE binning, fT, and NF-are unique to this part. Direct substitution requires validation of bias network and matching topology.
What hFE rank is specified for the 2SC5277D2-TL-E?
The 2SC5277D2-TL-E is classified into three hFE ranks per the datasheet: Rank 1 (60–120), Rank 2 (90–180), and Rank 3 (135–270) at VCE = 5 V and IC = 10 mA. The "D2" suffix in the full part number indicates Rank 2, ensuring predictable DC bias stability in production designs without manual sorting.
Can the 2SC5277D2-TL-E operate reliably at VCE = 1 V?
Yes-the 2SC5277D2-TL-E is characterized for low-voltage operation: at VCE = 1 V and IC = 1 mA, it delivers fT = 3.5 GHz typ and |S21|² = 5.5 dB typ at 1.5 GHz. This enables ultra-low-power receive modes in battery-operated IoT devices while maintaining measurable RF gain and noise performance.
