In this paper, a rugged bipolar transistor has been designed to withstand high levels of ESD making it well suited for UHF automotive electronics applications. The BFP460 from Infineon Technologies is a general-purpose transistor that is electrostatic-discharge (ESD)-hardened for such applications. It benefits from a silicon-bipolar process technology with 23-GHz transition frequency and can safely withstand ESD pulses of 1500 W between any pair of terminals. The effectiveness of this device is demonstrated in a UHF low-noise amplifier (LNA) that is ideal for automotive use.
