Evolution of Freescale’s 50V LDMOS Technology

• EVHV6 is a 50V extension to Freescale’s widely accepted 50V LDMOS technology

• Key technology tailor-made for the Broadcast, Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) & Commercial Aerospace markets

• Performance levels exceed those of competitive products

− High gain and efficiency figures

− Low thermal resistance simplifies cooling needed by the transmitter

− High Ruggedness improves reliability under adverse conditions

• Higher power density means more power per device... fewer devices per system!

− Significant cost and board space savings

• May 2010: Freescale’s latest innovation: Introducing 50V High Ruggedness Technology

• November 2010: Rugged, High Output Power Products: Up to 1250 W CW, 65:1 VSWR

• September 2011: Rugged, High Efficiency, High power UHF TV Broadcast: 600W Peak, 125W Avg 30% ηd

• June 2012: Rugged Wideband : Widest frequency range LDMOS part available from Freescale today:

− Full rated power from <1 MHz to >1500 MHz

• MRFE6VS25 is for both 25W @ 2-30 MHz and 30W @ 1300 MHz

• MRFE6VP100 is 100W @ 30-512 MHz and 115W @ 1300 MHz

Freescale Ruggedness Differentiator

• What is Ruggedness?

− The ability to perform reliably into extreme operating conditions

• Measures of Ruggedness

− VSWR – A ratio of the impedance mismatch between the device and it’s

operating load

− Energy Absorption (EA) – measure of ability to absorb energy applied to

the output terminal.

• Who needs it?

− Systems where normal operation is not into a matched load
