Building on this history, Freescale’s newest E series portfolio of 50V high-power devices enables broadcast system designers to meet increasingly demanding performance, reliability and ruggedness requirements of the HF, VHF and UHF radio and television transmitter industry. Enhanced Ruggedness 50V LDMOS Technology Freescale’s latest generation of enhanced ruggedness 50V LDMOS devices brings the broadcast system designer unprecedented ruggedness combined with industry-leading performance. Freescale’s enhanced ruggedness line of broadcast devices are designed to handle operating into a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) greater than 65:1. These attributes allow broadcast transmitter designers to meet the most challenging performance and reliability demands of today’s broadcast industry. Freescale’s innovative low thermal resistance packaging technology enables higher device power densities for even the highest power designs. High device power density, combined with the high-power gain offered by Freescale’s portfolio of 50V LDMOS devices simplifies designs by reducing the number of driver and output stages needed, thereby increasing reliability and reducing cost. The broadband performance of Freescale LDMOS devices maximizes power and efficiency across complete broadcast bands by eliminating the need to tune the power amplifier for an individual channel or band segment. This simplifies production and maintenance, and reduces overhead associated with channelspecific designs. The breadth of our high power portfolio enables broadcast transmitter designers to choose an optimal solution, capable of meeting or exceeding even the most rigorous performance requirements across any desired power level, modulation type and frequency range. The exceptional efficiency and gain cover virtually every broadcast transmitter application, including analog television, DVB-T, ISDB-T and ATSC digital television as well as AM, single sideband, FM, HD and DAB radio applications. Freescale’s RF broadcast solutions cover frequencies from 1.8 to 860 MHz with power outputs from 10 watts to an industry-leading 1250 watts. Freescale’s broadcast devices are designed to meet quality and reliability standards demanded by even the most quality-conscious transmitter manufacturers and operators. Complementing Freescale’s line of trusted LDMOS devices, the enhanced ruggedness 50V devices underscore our commitment to deliver industry-leading performance across a comprehensive broadcast system portfolio. Broadcast Solutions RF High Power Analog and Digital FM and VHF TV: 1.25 kW Output Transistor The MRFE6VP61K25H power transistor is ideal for FM/VHF broadcast applications. The high level of output power (1.25 kW CW) and high gain (25 dB) allows for very compact lineups, providing over 70 dB gain in three stages. The exceptional efficiency, combined with low thermal resistance, considerably reduces thermal constraints. 1.6 kW Avg.
