LS121
MONOLITHIC DUAL
NPN TRANSISTOR
Linear Systems replaces discontinued Intersil IT121
FEATURES
The LS121 is a monolithic pair of NPN transistors
Direct Replacement for INTERSIL LS121
HIGH hFE @ LOW CURRENT
OUTPUT CAPACITANCE
mounted in a single SOIC package. The monolithic dual
chip design reduces parasitics and gives better
performance while ensuring extremely tight matching.
The LS121 is a direct replacement for discontinued
Intersil IT121.

Notes:
1. Absolute Maximum ratings are limiting values above which serviceability may be impaired
2. The reverse base‐to‐emitter voltage must never exceed 6.2 volts; the reverse base‐to‐emitter current must never exceed 10µA.
