Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult Ampleon directly for qualified alternatives or cross-reference options that match the 2500 W power class and OMP-1230-6F-2 footprint.

FAQ

How does the integrated thermal sensor function?

The device includes two temperature sense FETs electrically isolated from the RF power sections but sharing a common ground. They operate by applying a fixed voltage to the input pin and monitoring the temperature-dependent current.

What is the maximum load mismatch tolerance?

In Class-AB operation, the transistor withstands a load mismatch corresponding to a VSWR of 65:1 through all phases at 75 V drain-source voltage and 2500 W pulsed output power.

What are the ESD sensitivity classifications?

The device is classified as CDM Class C2A (500 V pulse) and HBM Class 2 (2000 V pulse), requiring strict adherence to electrostatic discharge handling precautions.
