LDMOS 140-W RF PA transistor targets UHF broadcast applications
Using Ampleon’s latest Gen9HV high voltage LDMOS process, this 140-W (average – 700-W peak) transistor, the first broadcast device to use this process technology, offers a high operating efficiency of typically >34% (Class AB) and is available in a ceramic SOT539 package format either with or without mounting ears.
Featuring best-in-class ruggedness of >40:1 the BLF989 also offers excellent operating stability and product consistency characteristics – aiding the whole design-in and production processes for RF power equipment manufacturers.
Capable of operating in the UHF range of 400 to 860 MHz, the transistor has a high gain, >21 dB at Paverage, and optimal gain flatness across the frequency range.
The Gen9HV process used for the BLF989 builds on Ampleon’s industry-respected technology leadership with its broadcast Gen6HV portfolio further enhancing efficiency, gain and ruggedness specifications. The BLF989 is the first in a portfolio of soon to be released Gen9HV products specially designed for broadcast applications.
