Philips SemiconductorsProduct specification
UHF power LDMOS transistorBLF861A
FEATURES
• High power gain
• Easy power control
• Excellent ruggedness
• Designed to withstand abrupt load mismatch errors
• Source on underside eliminates DC isolators; reducing
common mode inductance
• Designed for broadband operation (UHF band)
• Internal input and output matching for high gain and
optimum broadband operation.
APPLICATIONS
• Communication transmitter applications in the UHF
frequency range.
DESCRIPTION
Silicon N-channel enhancement mode lateral D-MOS
push-pull transistor in a SOT540A package with ceramic
cap. The common source is connected to the mounting
flange.
RF performance in a common source 860 MHz testcircuit. Th=25°C; R
= 0.15 K/W; unless otherwise specified.

Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLF861Ais capable ofwithstanding a loadmismatch correspondingtoVSWR = 10 : 1 throughall phases underthe
following conditions: V
= 32 V; f = 860 MHz at rated load power.
DS
The BLF861A is an improved version of the BLF861 on ruggedness and is capable to withstand abrupt source or load
mismatch errors under the nominal power condition.
