LS4117A
N-CHANNEL JFET
Linear Systems replaces discontinued Siliconix 2N4117A
The LS4117A is an Ultra-High Input Impedance N-Channel JFET
FEATURES
The LS4117A provides ultra-high input impedance. The
device is specified with a 1-pA limit and typically
operates at 0.2 pA. The part is ideal for use as a high-
impedance sensitive front-end amplifier.

1 . Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values above which LS4117A serviceability may be impaired.
2. Due to symmetrical geometry, these units may be operated with source and drain leads interchanged
3. This parameter is measured during a 2ms interval 100ms after power is applied. (Not a JEDEC condition.)
