BLF8G24LS-150GVJ

Overview

The BLF8G24LS-150GVJ is a 150 W LDMOS power transistor designed for base station applications in the 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz frequency range. It features improved video bandwidth and low memory effects, making it suitable for digital pre-distortion. The device operates at a drain-source voltage of 28 V with a quiescent current of 1300 mA. Typical performance includes a power gain of 19 dB, drain efficiency of 33%, and an adjacent channel power ratio of -30 dBc under two-carrier W-CDMA conditions. It utilizes an earless flanged ceramic package (SOT1244C) with decoupling leads.

Feature Summary

• Decoupling leads provide improved video bandwidth for enhanced signal fidelity
• Lower output capacitance optimizes performance in Doherty amplifier configurations
• Designed for low memory effects to support excellent digital pre-distortion capability
• Internally matched structure simplifies circuit integration and design

Applications

• RF power amplifiers for base stations operating between 2300 MHz and 2400 MHz
• Multi-carrier applications compliant with 3GPP test model 1 specifications
• Digital and analog transmitter systems requiring high linearity and ruggedness

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Ampleon documentation to confirm package variant and compliance status. Ensure that the procurement source provides valid traceability for the SOT1244C earless flanged ceramic package. Confirm RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliance through manufacturer certificates prior to finalizing acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency and ruggedness in the 2.3 GHz to 2.4 GHz band. The internal matching network reduces external component count. Verify thermal management capabilities as the junction temperature limit reaches 225 °C. Ensure the application circuit supports the specified 28 V drain-source voltage and 1300 mA quiescent current requirements.
