manufacturing yields
Applications
} Basestations and multi-carrier applications in the 2.3 to
2.4 GHz range
Designed for LTE basestations and built in industry-leading Gen7 LDMOS, these highly DPD-
friendly transistors cover the entire frequency range of 2.3 to 2.4 GHz. They enable asymmetrical
Doherty designs delivering efciencies of 44% and 15 dB of gain.
NXP, the market leader in RF power devices, uses its rugged
Gen7 LDMOS technology to produce these RF power
transistors, optimized for LTE 2.3 to 2.4 GHz applications.
Designed to work together in an asymmetrical Doherty circuit,
these ceramic transistors deliver best-in-class efficiency. In
this configuration, the BLF7G24L(S)-100 is used as the main
amplifier and the BLF7G24L(S)-140 as the peak amplifier.
Both devices feature excellent thermal stability and are
designed for low memory effects. This results in superior
digital pre-distortion (DPD) capability. These devices also
include integrated ESD protection, and comply with
directive 2002/95/EC regarding the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS).
Both RF Power devices are backed by NXP’s world-class
application support, which includes reference designs,
application notes, physics-based simulation models, and, on
request, customer-tailored support, to reduce time to market.
In addition, NXP’s high-volume manufacturing operations
ensure device consistency and high end-product yields.
