BLF2425M6LS180P,11

Overview

The BLF2425M6LS180P is a power LDMOS transistor designed for ISM and industrial heating applications in the 2400 MHz to 2500 MHz frequency range. It delivers an output power of 180 W with a typical drain efficiency of 53.5% and a gain of 13.3 dB at 2450 MHz under class-AB operation (VDS = 28 V, IDq = 10 mA). The device features a maximum drain-source voltage of 65 V and a junction temperature rating up to 225 °C. It utilizes an internally matched earless flanged balanced ceramic package (SOT539B) with four leads.

Feature Summary

• Internally matched for ease of use
• High efficiency and excellent thermal stability
• Integrated ESD protection
• Easy power control

Applications

• RF power amplifiers for CW applications in the 2400 MHz to 2500 MHz frequency range
• ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) heating systems
• Industrial heating equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to ensure correct package variant selection. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to procurement. Ensure that handling procedures strictly adhere to electrostatic discharge precautions as specified in the datasheet to prevent device damage during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for broadband operations between 2400 MHz and 2500 MHz requiring high output power. The SOT539B package is suitable for designs needing an earless flanged configuration. Verify thermal management capabilities to maintain junction temperatures within the 225 °C limit during continuous wave operation at full rated power.

Part Context

This part belongs to Ampleon's BLF2425 series of power LDMOS transistors. The 'S' suffix denotes the earless flanged balanced ceramic package (SOT539B), distinguishing it from the flanged version with mounting holes (SOT539A). Both variants share identical electrical characteristics and are optimized for similar industrial RF heating applications.

Replacement Considerations

The BLF2425M6L180P serves as the functional equivalent with a different package (SOT539A). Substitution requires verifying mechanical fit due to the presence of mounting holes in the alternative package.
