Product details
Overview
BFR 360F E6327 from Infineon Technologies is an NPN silicon RF transistor optimized for low-noise amplifier stages in battery-powered wireless receivers, delivering 1.0 dB noise figure at 1.8 GHz, 14 GHz transition frequency (fT), and 15.5 dB maximum available gain at 1.8 GHz under 15 mA / 3 V bias - deployed in GPS L1-band front-ends and ISM-band transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the BFR 360F E6327 datasheet, BFR 360F E6327 pinout, BFR 360F E6327 application, or BFR 360F E6327 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified noise performance at 1.8 GHz, TSFP-3 package thermal resistance ≤250 K/W, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive RF modules, and 5 V collector supply compatibility with low-current biasing.
Technical Context
This RF transistor employs a planar epitaxial silicon structure with gold-metallized emitter and base contacts to minimize parasitic capacitance and series resistance. Its fT of 14 GHz (typ.) and Ccb of 0.32 pF (typ.) enable stable amplification up to 3.5 GHz oscillator designs.
The device operates with ZSopt = 50 Ω + j10 Ω at 1.8 GHz for minimum noise, and achieves IP3 of 24 dBm under matched 50 Ω terminations - confirming suitability for linear small-signal RF gain blocks in multi-standard receivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Noise Figure (NFmin) | 1.0 dB at 1.8 GHz, IC = 3 mA - enables high sensitivity in GPS/Bluetooth receive chains |
| Transition Frequency (fT) | 14 GHz typ. at IC = 15 mA, VCE = 3 V - supports stable gain up to 3.5 GHz oscillators |
| Max Available Gain (Gma) | 15.5 dB at 1.8 GHz, ZS=ZL=ZSopt/ZLopt - delivers high signal-to-noise ratio in LNA stages |
| Third-Order Intercept (IP3) | 24 dBm output at 1.8 GHz, 50 Ω - ensures linearity for adjacent-channel rejection in narrowband receivers |
| Collector-Emitter Breakdown (VBRCEO) | 6 V min. - allows safe operation with 5 V supply rails in portable RF systems |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJS) | ≤250 K/W - enables reliable 210 mW dissipation in TSFP-3 footprint on FR4 PCBs |
| DC Current Gain (hFE) | 90–160 at IC = 15 mA, VCE = 3 V - provides predictable bias stability across production lots |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSFP-3 (Thin Small Flat Package, 3-pin, leadless, 1.1 mm × 0.9 mm × 0.4 mm, RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Low-impedance control terminal; requires DC bias network and RF matching to ZSopt ≈ 50 + j10 Ω |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | AC-grounded node in common-emitter LNA configuration; connects directly to ground plane for minimal inductance |
| 3 | Collector (C) | RF output node; designed for 5 V supply via decoupling capacitor; thermal path to PCB solder pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive RF modules requiring temperature cycling, humidity, and ESD robustness |
| Low-noise ZSopt specification | Source impedance defined per frequency (e.g., 50 + j10 Ω @ 1.8 GHz) - enables repeatable LNA matching |
| ESD-sensitive handling | HBM Class 2 (≥2 kV) - mandates grounded workstations and anti-static packaging during assembly |
| TSFP-3 thermal design | Exposed collector pad acts as primary heat sink; RthJS ≤250 K/W enables 210 mW operation without heatsink |
| RoHS-compliant Pb-free finish | SnAgCu termination compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN RF transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BFP 740F E6327 | fT = 25 GHz (typ.), NFmin = 0.85 dB @ 1.8 GHz, Ptot = 250 mW, same TSFP-3 package | Higher gain and lower noise, but increased power consumption (IC = 20 mA typical) | Select when system-level SNR budget demands <0.9 dB NF and supports higher bias current. |
| MRF901T1 | fT = 10 GHz (typ.), NFmin = 1.2 dB @ 1.8 GHz, SOT-23 package, non-AEC-Q101 | Lower cost, wider availability, but no automotive qualification and higher thermal resistance (RthJA ≈ 350 K/W) | Select for consumer-grade 2.4 GHz IoT devices where AEC-Q101 is not required and board space permits SOT-23. |
Compared with BFP740F E6327 and MRF901T1, the BFR360F E6327 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 1.0 dB NFmin, and 210 mW dissipation in a 1.1×0.9 mm footprint - making it optimal for cost-constrained automotive and portable GPS designs requiring proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the recommended DC bias for optimal noise figure at 1.8 GHz?
For minimum noise figure (1.0 dB), bias the BFR360F E6327 at IC = 3 mA and VCE = 3 V with source impedance matched to ZSopt = 50 + j10 Ω. This condition is validated per Infineon Application Note AN077 and confirmed in the device's noise parameter S-File available at infineon.com/rf.models.
Is the TSFP-3 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the TSFP-3 package uses SnAgCu (SAC305) termination and is qualified for lead-free reflow with peak temperature ≤260°C (per JEDEC J-STD-020). Thermal profile must limit time above 220°C to <60 seconds to prevent die attach degradation.
Does the AEC-Q101 qualification cover extended temperature operation?
Yes - AEC-Q101 qualification includes operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient, with full electrical characterization (including NFmin and fT) verified across this range. Junction temperature must remain ≤150°C per datasheet absolute maximum ratings.
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 the BFR360F E6327 at www.infineon.com/rf.models. These files include frequency sweeps from 0.1 to 6 GHz and are validated against production wafer lots using on-wafer calibration.
