NPN/PNP double Resistor-Equipped Transistors (RET)

[Akshatha Venkatesh]

Example- PUMD2. Why are such transistors used for switching ?

As the datasheet states:
• Simplifies circuit design
• Low package height of 0.37 mm
• Reduces component count
• Reduces pick and place costs

How does it simplify circuit design ? This is what I wanted to know.

 

[Harald Kapp]

It doesn't simplify the design but the manufacturing. Place 1 component instead of 6 components onto the PCB.

Look at all of the resistors, their connections and boardspace that don't have to be made if using them.
