@ 25°C (unless otherwise noted)
The 2N3955 family are matched JFET pairs for
differential amplifiers. The 2N3955 family of general
purpose JFETs is characterized for low and medium
frequency differential amplifiers requiring low offset
voltage, drift, noise and capacitance
|∆ VGS1‐2 /∆T|= 5µV/°C max.
IG = 20pA TYP.
en = 10nV/√Hz TYP.
The 2N3955 family exhibits low capacitance - 6pF max
and a spot noise figure of - 0.5dB max. The part offers
a superior tracking ability.
