Product details
Overview
A2V09H525-04NR6 from NXP Semiconductors is a 120 W asymmetrical Doherty RF power LDMOS transistor designed for cellular base station amplifiers operating in the 720–960 MHz band. It delivers 18.9 dB power gain, 56.7% drain efficiency, and –32.4 dBc ACPR at 940 MHz under W-CDMA single-carrier conditions (Pout = 120 W Avg., VDD = 48 Vdc, IDQA = 688 mA).
For engineers reviewing the A2V09H525-04NR6 datasheet, A2V09H525-04NR6 pinout, A2V09H525-04NR6 application, or A2V09H525-04NR6 equivalent, this device supports digital predistortion (DPD) systems in macrocell and remote radio head (RRH) transmitters requiring high linearity, thermal robustness, and asymmetrical Doherty architecture.
Technical Context
The A2V09H525-04NR6 integrates two independent LDMOS cells-Carrier (Side A) and Peaking (Side B)-in a monolithic plastic package (OM-1230-4L), enabling true asymmetrical Doherty operation with separate gate bias control (VGSA/VGSB). Its internal input matching eliminates external input matching networks across 720–960 MHz.
It operates with dual gate biasing: VGSA(Q) = 2.5 Vdc (typ.) for the Carrier side and VGSB = 1.1 Vdc (typ.) for the Peaking side at 940 MHz, supporting Class AB/Class C hybrid operation. The exposed backside source terminal provides low-inductance thermal and RF grounding critical for high-power RF stability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFM906S | Single-ended 120 W LDMOS (non-Doherty); 17.5 dB gain, 52% ηD @ 940 MHz; no separate peaking gate. | Suitable for simpler Class AB architectures where DPD linearity margin is less constrained. | Select when system-level DPD capability is limited or thermal budget allows higher dissipation. |
| A2V09H525-04N | Same die, tape-and-reel variant without R6 suffix (bulk packaging); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Used in high-volume automated assembly where reel-based feeding is not required. | Select for manual prototyping, small-batch builds, or evaluation board integration where reel logistics add cost. |
Compared with AFM906S and A2V09H525-04N, the A2V09H525-04NR6 uniquely delivers asymmetrical Doherty efficiency gains above back-off while maintaining full pin compatibility and thermal performance-enabling higher spectral efficiency in space-constrained macrocell and RRH deployments without redesigning the RF front-end topology.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for the A2V09H525-04NR6?
The A2V09H525-04NR6 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +225°C. This high TJ rating enables reliable operation in sealed outdoor enclosures and high-ambient environments typical of macrocell base stations. Derating curves and MTTF calculators are provided in NXP application note AN1955.
Does the A2V09H525-04NR6 require external input matching networks?
No-the A2V09H525-04NR6 is internally input-matched across its full 720–960 MHz operating band. This eliminates discrete input matching components, simplifies PCB layout, and improves repeatability in high-volume manufacturing. Output matching remains external and must be optimized per application per NXP load-pull data.
How is the peaking amplifier biased in the A2V09H525-04NR6 Doherty configuration?
The peaking side (Side B) of the A2V09H525-04NR6 is biased via the RFinB/VGSB pin at 1.1 Vdc (typ.) under W-CDMA test conditions at 940 MHz. This shallow Class C bias point enables efficient turn-on only during signal peaks, achieving the asymmetrical Doherty efficiency enhancement while maintaining linearity with DPD.
What thermal interface material is recommended for mounting the A2V09H525-04NR6?
NXP recommends solder reflow attachment per application note AN1907 for the A2V09H525-04NR6. The exposed copper backside serves as both thermal path and RF ground; thermal interface materials (TIMs) are not used-instead, the package is directly soldered to a thermally enhanced PCB pad or heatsink using lead-free reflow profiles compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 (MSL3, 260°C peak).
Can the A2V09H525-04NR6 operate across both 700 MHz and 900 MHz bands simultaneously?
The A2V09H525-04NR6 supports broadband operation from 720–960 MHz but is not designed for simultaneous dual-band transmission. It can be tuned for either 758–803 MHz or 920–960 MHz bands using distinct output matching networks, as validated in NXP's test circuit documentation for each frequency range.
