The MC-7847-KC is similar to NEC's standard push-pull devices, but the higher current allows for better distortion performance, especially X-mod. Like the previous generation of products, these devices survive such hazards as surge and ESD as well as their silicon competitors, but deliver superior performance with low DC current required. All devices are assembled and tested using fully automated equipment to maximize consistency in part to part performance, and reliability is assured by NEC's stringent quality and process control procedures. These parts come in industry compatible hybrid packages.
