BLC9G24XS-170AVY

Overview

The BLC9G24XS-170AVY is a 170 W LDMOS asymmetrical Doherty power transistor designed for base station applications in the 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz frequency range. It operates with a drain-source voltage of 65 V and delivers an average output power of 28 W under 1-carrier W-CDMA conditions, achieving a typical drain efficiency of 47% and power gain of 15.5 dB. The device features low thermal resistance (0.247 K/W typ) and integrated ESD protection. Packaged in the SOT1275-1 air cavity plastic earless flanged format, it supports high ruggedness against load mismatches up to 10:1 VSWR.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Y' against official Ampleon documentation to confirm if it denotes a distinct manufacturing revision or packaging variant compared to the standard 'BLC9G24XS-170AV'. Ensure compliance with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC requirements during procurement. Confirm that the component meets the specified ESD sensitivity classifications (CDM C2A, HBM 2) for your assembly environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency and linearity in the 2300–2400 MHz band. The internal matching network reduces external component count. Verify that the application circuit can maintain the case temperature at 25 °C for optimal performance metrics. Ensure the biasing network supports the required quiescent current of 250 mA for the main device.
