Hi,

I’m looking for BC188 current consumption figures - I don’t see them in the datasheet.

Thanks,

Keith

Is there an answer to this question?

It is fairly important that I am able to supply sufficient power to cover TX bursts. If there is no answer I am at a phase of development where I can switch to another supplier and I will have to chose to do so.
