Product details
Overview
KSA1370EBU from Fairchild Semiconductor is a PNP epitaxial silicon transistor rated for -200 V collector-emitter and collector-base voltage, -100 mA DC collector current, 1.0 W power dissipation, and 150 MHz current gain bandwidth product; it serves in CRT display video output stages requiring high-voltage switching and low reverse transfer capacitance.
For engineers reviewing the KSA1370EBU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its -200 V breakdown ratings, Cre = 1.7 pF, TO-92L package with emitter-collector-base pin order, and suitability for high-voltage analog switching in legacy display systems.
Technical Context
The KSA1370EBU operates as a high-voltage PNP bipolar junction transistor optimized for video output amplification in CRT displays. Its design emphasizes high BVCEO and BVCBO (-200 V), low Cre (1.7 pF), and stable hFE (100–320 at VCE = -10 V, IC = -10 mA).
It delivers VCE(sat) = -0.6 V at IC = -20 mA / IB = -2 mA and VBE(on) = -1.0 V under same conditions, enabling efficient saturation switching in linear video driver circuits with minimal thermal drift up to 150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCBO / VCEO | -200 V - Supports high-voltage CRT anode drive and flyback timing without breakdown |
| IC (DC) | -100 mA - Sufficient for video output stage bias and signal swing in monochrome/color CRT drivers |
| fT | 150 MHz - Enables stable small-signal amplification across video bandwidth (up to ~5 MHz fundamental + harmonics) |
| Cre | 1.7 pF - Minimizes feedback distortion and improves stability in high-gain video amplifier configurations |
| PC | 1.0 W - Allows continuous operation at elevated ambient temperatures with standard TO-92L heatsinking |
| hFE | 100–320 - Provides predictable DC biasing and gain control in emitter-follower or common-emitter video output topologies |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92L, through-hole, 3-lead plastic package with 2.54 mm lead pitch; standardized for manual insertion and wave soldering in legacy display PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Current source terminal; connects to CRT grid or cathode bias network for active pull-up operation |
| 2 | Collector | High-voltage output node; interfaces directly with CRT anode supply or deflection yoke return path |
| 3 | Base | Control input; accepts negative-going video drive signals to modulate electron beam intensity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High breakdown voltage | Rated -200 V VCEO/VCBO enables direct interface with CRT EHT supplies without external snubbing |
| Low reverse transfer capacitance | Cre = 1.7 pF reduces Miller effect, preserving video edge fidelity and minimizing oscillation risk |
| Stable DC current gain | hFE = 100–320 over -10 mA operating point ensures consistent biasing across production lots |
| TO-92L mechanical compatibility | Standardized footprint allows drop-in replacement of legacy PNP video transistors in service and manufacturing |
Applications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving the cathode/grid of monochrome CRTs in oscilloscopes and industrial monitors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSA992FBU | Same manufacturer, TO-92L, but lower VCEO = -160 V and higher hFE (200–600); fT = 120 MHz | Suitable for lower-voltage CRTs or non-EHT-coupled video stages where gain consistency is prioritized over breakdown margin | Select when system VCE stress remains below -150 V and tighter hFE spread is required |
| MJD2955G | TO-220 package, -70 V VCEO, -10 A IC, higher power (115 W), no Cre spec provided | Designed for power switching, not video linearity; unsuitable for high-frequency analog video due to package parasitics and bandwidth limitation | Use only in DC/low-frequency high-current PNP roles; not a functional substitute for KSA1370EBU in CRT video paths |
Compared with KSA1370EBU, KSA992FBU trades 40 V breakdown margin for higher gain consistency, while MJD2955G offers massive current capacity in a thermally robust package but lacks the video-optimized capacitance and bandwidth needed for CRT signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the KSA1370EBU?
The KSA1370EBU has a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating (VCEO) of -200 V at Ta = 25°C. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and verified under test condition IC = -1 mA, IB = 0. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent device failure. The KSA1370EBU must be operated within this limit in all CRT video output and flyback applications.
Is the KSA1370EBU pin-compatible with other TO-92L PNP transistors?
The KSA1370EBU uses standard TO-92L pinout: Pin 1 = Emitter, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Base. While mechanically compatible with other TO-92L devices, electrical compatibility depends on voltage, gain, and capacitance specs. For example, KSA992FBU shares the same pinout and package but differs in VCEO and hFE; always verify circuit stress margins before substitution of the KSA1370EBU.
What is the typical reverse transfer capacitance (Cre) of the KSA1370EBU and why does it matter?
The KSA1370EBU has a typical reverse transfer capacitance (Cre) of 1.7 pF at VCB = -30 V and f = 1 MHz. This low value minimizes Miller feedback in high-gain video amplifier stages, preserving signal edge integrity and preventing instability or oscillation-critical for maintaining luminance fidelity in CRT monochrome and color displays using the KSA1370EBU.
Can the KSA1370EBU be used in modern LCD or OLED display circuits?
The KSA1370EBU is not recommended for modern LCD or OLED display circuits. Its design targets high-voltage analog switching in CRT systems, with parameters like -200 V breakdown and video-optimized Cre/Cob that are irrelevant to low-voltage digital display interfaces. Modern designs use integrated drivers or MOSFETs; substituting the KSA1370EBU would introduce unnecessary cost, size, and compatibility issues.
What is the junction temperature limit and thermal derating behavior of the KSA1370EBU?
The KSA1370EBU has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150°C and a storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Its safe operating area (SOA) curve shows linear derating above 25°C case temperature, with power dissipation dropping to zero at ~150°C. For reliable operation in CRT video output stages, ensure heatsinking or airflow maintains TC ≤ 80°C when the KSA1370EBU dissipates near its 1.0 W rating.
