Product details
Overview
AFV10700GSR5 from NXP Semiconductors is a 960–1215 MHz RF power LDMOS transistor designed for high-peak-pulse radar applications including IFF, secondary surveillance radar, ADS-B transponders, and DME. It delivers 700 W peak output power at 1090 MHz under 50 V, 128 µs pulse width, and 10% duty cycle, with 19.2 dB power gain and 56.1% drain efficiency. Its NI-780GS-4L package supports rugged >20:1 VSWR operation in pulsed systems.
For engineers reviewing the AFV10700GSR5 datasheet, AFV10700GSR5 pinout, AFV10700GSR5 application, or AFV10700GSR5 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed pulse performance metrics across 960–1215 MHz, thermal impedance (0.030 °C/W), ESD protection class (HBM Class 2, CDM Class C3), and real-world reference circuit impedances (e.g., Zsource = 4.0 – j6.9 Ω at 1030 MHz).
Technical Context
This dual-gate, dual-drain N-channel enhancement-mode lateral MOSFET operates in Class C or pulsed AB mode with internally matched input and output networks optimized for broadband 960–1215 MHz pulse amplification. It supports single-ended, push-pull, or quadrature configurations and features integrated ESD protection enabling gate voltage pulsing down to –6 VGS.
The device sustains 55 VDD maximum operating voltage and exhibits robust thermal performance: junction-to-case thermal impedance of 0.030 °C/W under 730 W peak pulse conditions (128 µs, 10% duty, 50 V, TC = 75 °C). Its ruggedness is validated at >20:1 VSWR across all phase angles at 1030 MHz with no degradation under 3 dB overdrive.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFV10700HSR5 | Same die, NI-780S-4L package (32 mm tape width); identical electrical specs but different mechanical footprint and reel packaging. | Designed for automated SMT placement on smaller-footprint PCBs where NI-780GS-4L's wider tape is incompatible. | Select AFV10700HSR5 only when board space or pick-and-place tooling requires the S-variant package. |
| AFV10700HR5 | Same die, NI-780H-4L package (56 mm tape width); matches AFV10700GSR5 electrically but differs in tape/reel configuration and thermal pad layout. | Targeted at legacy production lines using H-variant tape handling; thermal performance identical but mounting hole pattern differs. | Choose AFV10700HR5 only if existing assembly infrastructure is calibrated for H-variant reels and mechanical mounting. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for AFV10700GSR5?
The AFV10700GSR5 has a maximum operating voltage (VDD) rating of +55 Vdc, with absolute maximum drain-source voltage (VDSS) rated from –0.5 V to +105 Vdc. This allows safe operation under transient overvoltage conditions typical in radar modulator circuits while maintaining reliability at nominal 50 Vdc bias.
Does AFV10700GSR5 require external input/output matching networks?
No, the AFV10700GSR5 is internally input and output matched for broadband 960–1215 MHz operation. NXP's reference circuits confirm functional performance without external matching components, though system-level tuning may be needed for specific VSWR or harmonic suppression targets.
What is the thermal impedance of AFV10700GSR5 and how is it measured?
The AFV10700GSR5 has a junction-to-case thermal impedance (ZθJC) of 0.030 °C/W, measured under pulsed conditions: 730 W peak, 128 µs pulse width, 10% duty cycle, 50 Vdc, TC = 75 °C. This value is critical for heatsink thermal resistance calculation in pulsed radar amplifier designs.
Is AFV10700GSR5 qualified for aerospace or defense applications?
Yes, the AFV10700GSR5 is widely deployed in defense and civil aviation systems including IFF, SSR, and DME. It meets stringent reliability requirements with 15-year product longevity assurance, HBM Class 2 and CDM Class C3 ESD ratings, and junction temperature range up to +225 °C.
