----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Bailey" To: Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 5:02 PM Subject: [EE] Split Emitter / Split Collector Transistors | [Split Emitter/Collector - symbols] As far as I know this items have the same function as paralled transistors - so if you see a 2 emitter transistor in real on the substrate these are 2 transistors, where collector and base electrodes are switched in parallel and 2 emitters are on the substrate. The symbol comes from the buildup of these 2 transistors on the same substrate, where automatically (due to the construction) the collectors on the one hand and base electrodes on the other hand are the same material respectively.
