Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The Z suffix indicates a tape and reel packing format with a minimum orderable quantity of 500 pieces. Confirm that the dry pack specifications match storage requirements. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid Ampleon documentation to guarantee authenticity and correct revision status.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring 100 W output in the HF to 1500 MHz range. Verify thermal management capabilities to maintain junction temperatures below 225 °C. Ensure the bias circuit supports the required quiescent current and gate voltage levels. Check compatibility with the TO-270-2F-1 package footprint and lead coplanarity tolerances during PCB layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BLP series of power LDMOS transistors manufactured by Ampleon. It utilizes the TO-270-2F-1 surface mount package. The device is optimized for linear operation in Class-AB modes, providing a balance between power output and efficiency for broadband RF applications.

Replacement Considerations

BLP15M9S100G is a compatible alternative offering identical electrical characteristics but packaged in cut tape rather than reel.
