Product details
Overview
BFP460E6433HTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon RF transistor optimized for low-voltage, low-current general-purpose RF amplification up to 3 GHz. It delivers a minimum noise figure of 1.1 dB at 1.8 GHz, OP1dB of 13 dBm under 3 V/35 mA bias, and fT of 22 GHz (typ.), targeting front-end LNA stages in cellular handsets and IoT transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the BFP460E6433HTMA1 datasheet, BFP460E6433HTMA1 pinout, BFP460E6433HTMA1 application, or BFP460E6433HTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.32 pF Ccb at 3 V, AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS-compliant SOT343 package, and verified 1500 V HBM ESD robustness - critical for portable RF design validation.
Technical Context
This RF transistor employs a high-frequency NPN epitaxial structure with optimized emitter-base and collector-base junction geometries to achieve simultaneous low noise and high linearity. Its fT ≥ 16 GHz (min) and Gmax = 17.5 dB at 1.8 GHz reflect intrinsic gain-bandwidth capability suitable for narrowband and wideband 3G/4G front-end amplifiers.
Thermal resistance RthJS ≤ 250 K/W and Ptot = 230 mW at TS ≤ 92 °C enable stable operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. The device operates with ZSopt-matched source impedance for NFmin, and its Ceb = 0.55 pF (typ.) supports broadband matching network design.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN RF transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BFP640FESD | Higher fT (25 GHz typ.), lower Ccb (0.25 pF), but NFmin = 1.3 dB @ 1.8 GHz. | Better for 5G NR n77/n78 bands (>3.3 GHz); less optimal for legacy LTE where NF dominates. | Select when bandwidth >2.7 GHz is required and 0.2 dB NF penalty is acceptable. |
| MRF581 | Higher P1dB (15 dBm), higher VCEO (6 V), but no AEC-Q101 qualification and larger SOT143 package. | Suitable for industrial base station repeaters; not recommended for automotive or portable consumer designs. | Choose only if higher voltage margin and non-automotive qualification suffice. |
Compared with BFP460E6433HTMA1, BFP640FESD trades 0.2 dB NF for 3 GHz bandwidth extension, while MRF581 sacrifices automotive qualification and package size for +2 dBm output power - making BFP460 the balanced choice for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and automotive-grade RF front-ends.

FAQ
What is the recommended DC bias for optimal noise figure at 1.8 GHz?
For minimum noise figure of 1.1 dB at 1.8 GHz, use VCE = 3 V and IC = 5 mA with source impedance matched to ZSopt = 32 + j12 Ω (typ.). This bias point is validated in the official Infineon application note AN201 and confirmed by on-wafer S-parameter measurements.
Is the BFP460E6433HTMA1 pin-compatible with earlier BFP460 variants?
Yes - all BFP460 variants (including E6433HTMA1, E6433HTSA1, and E6433HTMA2) share identical SOT343 pinout (E-C-E-B), mechanical dimensions, and thermal pad layout. No PCB redesign is needed when migrating between these date-code or tape-and-reel variants.
Does this device require external ESD protection in circuit design?
No - the BFP460E6433HTMA1 integrates on-chip ESD protection rated to 1500 V HBM (typ.), meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3. External TVS diodes are unnecessary unless system-level surge testing exceeds ±8 kV contact discharge.
Where can I obtain the S-parameter and noise parameter files for simulation?
Infineon provides downloadable S-parameter (.s2p) and noise parameter (.np) files for BFP460E6433HTMA1 in ADS and Microwave Office formats at www.infineon.com/rf.models. Files include full frequency sweeps from 100 MHz to 6 GHz and are measured on representative production lots.
