The 2N3956 is a Low Noise, Low Drift, Monolithic Dual N-Channel JFET
2N3956
MONOLITHIC DUAL
N-CHANNEL JFET
Note 1 – These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor may be impaired
2N3956 Applications:
Wideband Differential Amps
High Input Impedance Amplifiers
The 2N3956 family are matched JFET pairs for
differential amplifiers. The 2N3956 family of general
purpose JFETs is characterized for low and medium
frequency differential amplifiers requiring low offset
voltage, drift, noise and capacitance
The 2N3956 family also exhibits low capacitance - 6pF
max and a spot noise figure of -0.5dB max. The part
offers a superior tracking ability.
The hermetically sealed TO-71 and TO-78 packages
are well suited for high reliability and harsh environment
applications.
(See Packaging Information).
