MRFG35010

Overview

The MRFG35010 is a Gallium Arsenide PHEMT RF power field-effect transistor designed for driver applications in WLL, MMDS, and UMTS systems operating between 1800 MHz and 3600 MHz. It provides 10 Watts output power at the 1 dB compression point (P1dB) at 3550 MHz with a drain voltage of 12 Volts. The device delivers approximately 10 dB power gain and 30% drain efficiency under typical W-CDMA conditions. It features excellent phase linearity and group delay characteristics suitable for Class AB or Class A linear base station configurations.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration. The R1 suffix indicates tape and reel packaging containing 500 units on a 32 mm, 13 inch reel. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the source documentation matches the current revision history provided by NXP USA Inc. or Freescale Semiconductor archives.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high linearity and significant output power in the 1.8 GHz to 3.6 GHz range. The unmatched design necessitates external matching networks tailored to the specific impedance requirements of the circuit. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing the heat dissipation strategy for continuous wave or high-duty cycle operations.

Part Context
