70 W LDMOS for 520 MHz base-station driver stages
The NXP AFT05MP075NR1 is a dual LDMOS RF power transistor delivering 70 W output at 520 MHz with 18.5 dB gain, tested at 12.5 V. It is designed for 40 V rated operation in cellular base-station driver amplifiers and industrial RF energy applications where linearity and efficiency are required.
Gain and output power at 520 MHz
The 18.5 dB gain at 520 MHz means a 0.5 W drive signal produces the full 70 W output, reducing the number of pre-driver stages needed in the transmit chain. The 40 V drain rating provides headroom for load mismatch and supply ripple in 12.5 V nominal systems.
TO-270 WB-4 package and thermal path
Housed in the TO-270 WB-4 surface-mount package, the wide-body flange offers a low thermal resistance path to the PCB ground plane. The dual die configuration shares the common source pad, simplifying the layout for push-pull or balanced amplifier topologies.
