delivered in the R5 tape and reel option. At the end of the 2 year period customers who have purchased these devices in the R5
tape and reel option will be offered MRF6VP41KH and MRF6VP41KHS in the R6 tape and reel option.
REVISION HISTORY
The following table summarizes revisions to this document.
Revision
Date
Description
0
Jan. 2008
• Initial Release of Data Sheet
1
Apr. 2008
• Added Fig. 12, Maximum Transient Thermal Impedance, p. 6
2
Sept. 2008
• Added Note to Fig. 4, Capacitance versus Drain--Source Voltage, to denote that each side of device is
measured separately, p. 5
• Updated Fig. 5, DC Safe Operating Area, to clarify that measurement is on a per--side basis, p. 5
• Corrected Fig. 13, MTTF versus Junction Temperature, to reflect the correct die size and increased the
MTTF factor accordingly, p. 6
3
Nov. 2008
• Added CW operation capability bullet to Features section, p. 1
• Added CW operation to Maximum Ratings table, p. 1
• Added CW thermal data to Thermal Characteristics table, p. 2
• Fig. 14, Series Equivalent Source and Load Impedance, corrected Zsource copy to read “Test circuit
impedance as measured from gate to gate, balanced configuration” and Zload copy to read “Test circuit
impedance as measured from drain to drain, balanced configuration”; replaced impedance diagram to show
push--pull test conditions, p. 7
4
Mar. 2009
• CW rating limits updated from 1176 W to 1107 W and 5.5 W/°C to 4.6 W/°C to reflect recent remeasured
data, Max Ratings table, p. 1
• CW Thermal Characteristics changed from 81°C to 48°C and 0.16 °C/W to 0.15 °C/W using data from the
most recent 352.2 MHz CW application circuit, p. 2
• Added Typical Performances table for 352.2 MHz and 500 MHz applications, p. 3
• Added Fig. 14, MTTF versus Junction Temperature -- CW, p. 7
• Added Figs. 16 and 18, Test Circuit Component Layout -- 352.2 MHz and 500 MHz, and Tables 6 and 7, Test
Circuit Component Designations and Values -- 352.2 MHz and 500 MHz, p. 9, 11
• Added Figs. 17 and 19, Series Equivalent Source and Load Impedance -- 352.2 MHz and 500 MHz, p. 10, 12

Apr. 2010
Description
• Operating Junction Temperature increased from 200°C to 225°C in Maximum Ratings table and related
“Continuous use at maximum temperature will affect MTTF” footnote added, p. 1
• Added Electromigration MTTF Calculator and RF High Power Model availability to Product Software,
p. 17
6
Apr. 2012
• Table 1, Maximum Ratings, CW Operation: changed CW rating from an RF based value to a maximum
power dissipated value -- CW Operation @ TC = 25°C, 1107 W changed to Total Device Dissipation @ TC =
25°C, CW only, 1333 watts. Value change to 1333 watts applies only to devices with a date code of
QQ1218 or newer. Refer to PCN15074, p. 1
• Table 2, Thermal Characteristics, Thermal Resistance, Junction to Case: 2.4 mil wire configuration thermal
testing resulted in a case temperature change from 48°C to 84°C, p. 2
• Table 3, ESD Protection Characteristics: added the device’s ESD passing level as applicable to each ESD
class, p. 2
• Modified figure titles and/or graph axes labels to clarify application use, p. 4--7
• Fig. 12, Transient Thermal Impedance: graph updated to show correct CW operation, p. 7
• Fig. 13, MTTF versus Junction Temperature -- Pulsed removed, p. 7. Refer to the device’s MTTF Calculator
available at freescale.com/RFpower. Go to Design Resources > Software and Tools.
• Fig. 14, MTTF versus Junction Temperature – CW: MTTF end temperature on graph changed to match
maximum operating junction temperature, p. 7 (renumbered as Fig. 13 after Fig. 13, MTTF versus Junction
Temperature -- Pulsed removed)
