Product details
Overview
2SC5772FR-TL-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon NPN epitaxial RF transistor optimized for VHF/UHF wideband amplifier applications, delivering 13 dB typical power gain and 1.1 dB typical noise figure at 900 MHz with 9 GHz typical fT. It operates at VCE = 5 V, IC = 20 mA and is rated for 700 mW collector dissipation on aluminum ceramic board.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC5772FR-TL-E datasheet, 2SC5772FR-TL-E pinout, 2SC5772FR-TL-E application, or 2SC5772FR-TL-E equivalent, this device is selected for high-frequency front-end amplification where low-noise, high-gain performance in compact SMT packages is required - especially in 800–2000 MHz wireless infrastructure and consumer radio modules.
Technical Context
The 2SC5772FR-TL-E employs an epitaxial base structure to achieve high fT (9 GHz typ.) and low parasitic capacitance (Cob = 0.9 pF typ., Cre = 0.7 pF typ.), enabling stable wideband gain up to 2 GHz. Its low VCEO (9 V) and moderate IC rating (75 mA) reflect optimization for small-signal amplification rather than switching or power output stages.
Designed for 50 Ω impedance-matched systems, it exhibits strong S-parameter performance: |S21|² = 11.8 dB at 1 GHz (VCE = 5 V, IC = 20 mA), with input/output matching supported by low |S11| and |S22| across 100–2000 MHz under multiple bias conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| fT | 9 GHz typical - enables stable amplification up to UHF band (≈2 GHz usable bandwidth) |
| Power Gain (PG) | 13 dB typical at 900 MHz - sufficient for single-stage LNA or driver stage in portable radios |
| Noise Figure (NF) | 1.1 dB typical at 900 MHz - supports sensitive receiver front-ends in cellular and ISM-band receivers |
| Collector Power Dissipation (PC) | 700 mW on aluminum ceramic board - requires thermally enhanced PCB layout for continuous operation |
| VCEO | 9 V maximum - limits use to low-voltage RF stages; not suitable for >9 V supply rails |
| hFE | 120 typical at IC = 20 mA - provides predictable DC bias stability in common-emitter configurations |
| Cob | 0.9 pF typical at VCB = 5 V - low output capacitance aids broadband matching and reduces Miller effect |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPAK (RENESAS code PLSP0003ZB-A), JEITA SC-59A - surface-mount, 3-pin plastic package with exposed collector tab for thermal conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Low-impedance current sink; connects to ground or emitter degeneration resistor in CE amplifier |
| 2 | Base | High-impedance control node; requires DC bias network and RF choke or capacitor coupling |
| 3 | Collector | RF output node and primary heat path; electrically connected to exposed metal pad for thermal management |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High fT / low Cre combination | Enables broadband 50 Ω gain flatness from 100 MHz to >1.5 GHz without peaking compensation |
| Low NF + high PG synergy | Supports cascaded LNA architectures where first-stage noise dominates system sensitivity |
| Thermally optimized MPAK package | Exposed collector pad allows direct mounting to copper pour or heatsink for PC ≥ 400 mW operation |
| Marking "FR-" | Identifies specific gain bin (hFE = 120 typ.) and ensures consistent RF performance across production lots |
| JEITA SC-59A footprint compatibility | Enables drop-in replacement with other SC-59A transistors (e.g., 2SC4215, 2SC5004) in legacy layouts |
Applications
| Cellular Base Station Receiver Front-End | ISM-Band Wireless Sensor Transceiver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-noise amplification of 868/915 MHz ISM-band signals in battery-powered sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage LNA in receive chain, biased at IC = 5 mA for optimal NF. Use Value: 1.1 dB NF preserves SNR in weak-signal environments; 13 dB PG reduces need for additional gain stages. |
Use Scenario: Wideband IF amplifier in 900 MHz TDMA base station channel select filters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-gain driver between mixer and IF filter, operating at IC = 20 mA. Use Value: 11.8 dB |S21|² at 1 GHz ensures minimal group delay variation across channel bandwidth. |
| UHF RFID Reader Module | FM/AM Radio Tuner Front-End |
Use Scenario: Transmit power amplifier driver in 860–960 MHz EPC Gen2 readers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Class-A driver stage preceding final GaAs FET, biased at IC = 30 mA. Use Value: 30.42 dB |S21| at 100 MHz (VCE = 3 V) supports wideband modulation envelope fidelity. |
Use Scenario: VHF band preselector amplifier in automotive FM/AM radio tuners (76–108 MHz). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-linearity common-emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration. Use Value: hFE = 120 typ. ensures stable bias point across temperature; Cob = 0.9 pF minimizes tuning capacitance loading. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF transistor amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SC5004-TL-E | fT = 7 GHz max, NF = 1.3 dB typ. at 900 MHz, PC = 500 mW | Lower gain and thermal capability; suited for lower-power portable receivers | Select when board space or cost constraints outweigh need for 9 GHz fT or 700 mW dissipation |
| 2SC4215-TL-E | fT = 8 GHz typ., PG = 12 dB typ. at 900 MHz, VCEO = 12 V | Higher voltage rating enables use in 12 V bias rails; slightly lower gain and higher NF (1.4 dB) | Prefer when system supply exceeds 9 V or when broader VCEO margin is required for reliability |
Compared with 2SC5004-TL-E and 2SC4215-TL-E, the 2SC5772FR-TL-E delivers the highest fT and lowest noise figure in the Renesas SC-59A RF transistor family, making it optimal for demanding UHF LNA designs where gain-bandwidth and noise performance are prioritized over voltage headroom or cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended collector current for continuous operation of the 2SC5772FR-TL-E?
The absolute maximum collector current is 75 mA per the datasheet, but for reliable continuous operation at ambient temperatures above 25°C, derating is required. At Ta = 70°C, the safe operating limit drops to approximately 45 mA when mounted on the specified aluminum ceramic board (25 × 60 × 0.7 mm). The 2SC5772FR-TL-E must be used within this thermal boundary to avoid junction overheating and parametric shift.
Does the 2SC5772FR-TL-E support 50 Ω input/output matching without external components?
No - while the 2SC5772FR-TL-E exhibits favorable S-parameters (e.g., |S11| ≈ 0.31 at 900 MHz, VCE = 5 V), it does not achieve 50 Ω match inherently. Matching networks (e.g., shunt capacitors, series inductors) are required for broadband 50 Ω operation. The 2SC5772FR-TL-E datasheet provides S-parameter tables across bias points to guide network synthesis.
Is the 2SC5772FR-TL-E qualified for automotive applications?
No - the 2SC5772FR-TL-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' quality policy, intended for computers, communications equipment, and consumer electronics. It is not qualified to AEC-Q101 or rated for automotive temperature ranges (−40°C to +125°C), and Renesas explicitly prohibits its use in transportation or safety-critical systems without prior written consent.
What does the "FR" suffix indicate in 2SC5772FR-TL-E?
The "FR" marking denotes a specific hFE bin: devices marked "FR-" have a guaranteed hFE range of 100–140 at VCE = 5 V, IC = 20 mA, ensuring tighter DC current gain consistency for stable bias design. This binning improves predictability in production RF amplifier tuning versus unmarked or "FA"/"FB" variants.
Can the 2SC5772FR-TL-E be used in Class AB amplifier configurations?
Yes - although optimized for Class A LNA use, the 2SC5772FR-TL-E supports Class AB operation with appropriate base biasing (e.g., diode bias or VBE multiplier). Its fT and low Cre help maintain linearity up to ~1 GHz, but intermodulation distortion must be measured per application; the 2SC5772FR-TL-E is not characterized for IMD3 in the datasheet.
