Applications

• RF power amplifiers for base stations
• Multi-carrier applications in the 1880 MHz to 2025 MHz range

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Y' against official Ampleon documentation to confirm any variations in packaging or testing standards. Ensure compliance with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC requirements during procurement. Confirm that the HSOP6F package dimensions align with your PCB layout specifications before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high power density and broadband operation within the specified frequency range. Consider the thermal resistance of 0.356 K/W when designing heat dissipation systems. Verify impedance matching networks using the provided typical load-pull data for optimal performance at target frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BLP8G series of LDMOS transistors from Ampleon, targeting macro base station infrastructure. It utilizes advanced LDMOS technology to provide robust performance in multi-carrier environments. The device is optimized for Class-AB operation, balancing linearity and efficiency for modern wireless communication standards.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Ampleon substitution guides for verified alternatives. Cross-referencing with other BLP series devices requires careful evaluation of pin compatibility and electrical parameters to ensure functional equivalence without redesigning the host circuit.
