MRF6V2150NBR5

Overview

The MRF6V2150NBR5 is an N-channel enhancement-mode lateral MOSFET designed for CW large-signal output and driver applications up to 450 MHz. It delivers 150 W of output power at 220 MHz with a drain efficiency of 68.3% and power gain of 25 dB under standard test conditions (VDD = 50 V, IDQ = 450 mA). The device supports operation across the 10-450 MHz frequency range and is qualified for maximum 50 Vdc drain-source voltage. It features integrated ESD protection and is housed in a plastic package capable of withstanding junction temperatures up to 225°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part originates from Freescale Semiconductor, now part of NXP. Confirm that the R1 suffix indicates tape and reel packaging containing 500 units per 44 mm reel. Ensure design compliance with application notes AN1907 or AN3263 regarding mounting methods to prevent internal temperature exceedance.

Selection Notes

Select this component for broadband designs requiring high power density between 10 MHz and 450 MHz. Evaluate thermal management requirements carefully, as continuous use at maximum junction temperature affects mean time to failure. Verify impedance matching networks against the provided series equivalent source and load impedances for optimal power transfer and stability.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MRF6Vxx series of lateral N-channel single-ended broadband RF power MOSFETs. These transistors are engineered for robustness in demanding RF environments, offering unmatched performance characteristics. The specific model utilizes a TO-270WB-4 plastic package configuration, distinguishing it from other variants within the broader family of high-power RF devices.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official documentation for direct substitutes. Cross-referencing may involve checking for updated NXP part numbers replacing legacy Freescale designations. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance specifications before substituting.
