TIP122-A
TIP127-A
Complementary power Darlington transistors
Features
■
■
■
The devices are qualified for automotive application
Low collector-emitter saturation voltage
Complementary NPN - PNP transistors
Application
■ General purpose linear and switching
Description
The devices are manufactured in planar technology with “base island” layout and monolithic Darlington configuration. The resulting transistors show exceptional high gain performance coupled with very low saturation voltage.
