New BLP15M9Sxxx and BLP15H9Sxxx LDMOS Amplifiers for Broadcast, Industrial, Scientific and Medical Applications

7 July 2021 - 0 Comments

Ampleon has announced two new wideband amplifier series: the 32V-rated BLP15M9Sxxx and the 50V-rated BLP15H9Sxxx devices. Both BLP15M9Sxxx and BLP15H9Sxxx are based on 9th generation LDMOS and high-voltage LDMOS technologies respectively, and support frequencies of up to 2GHz. These are capable of continuous wave (CW) and pulsed signal operation, exhibiting elevated levels of stability. These devices can be used in various applications including particle accelerators and plasma generators, MRI imaging equipment, industrial heating systems, radar implementations, and Broadcast.

The BLP15M9Sxxx family comprises dedicated devices offering 100W, 70W, and 30W and delivers efficiencies of around 75%, while the BLP15H9Sxxx family supports devices delivering 100W, 30W, and 10W and can typically attain +65% efficiency. These LDMOS amplifiers are supplied in compact SOT1482-1 (straight lead) and SOT1483-1 (Gull wing) format packages. Their highly robust construction ensures ongoing reliability. The use of plastic packaging helps to ensure that superior thermal performance is maintained, while also keeping unit costs down. Dual-side electro-static discharge (ESD) protection is incorporated into each device too.
