Programmable Unijunction Transistor
Description:
Designed to enable the engineer to “program” unijunction characteristics such as RBB, , IV, and IP
by merely selecting two resistor values. Applications include thyristor−trigger, oscillator, pulse and
timing circuits. This device may also be used in special thyristor applications due to availability of an
anode gate. Supplied in an inexpensive TO−92 type plastic package for high−volume requirements,
this package is readily adaptable for use in automatic insertion equipment.

Note 1. Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are
stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating Conditions is
not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions
may affect device reliability.
