Product details
Overview
BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 from Infineon is a low-noise NPN RF bipolar transistor in TSLP-3-1 package, designed for grounded-emitter (SIEGET™) amplifier stages. It delivers NFmin = 1.1 dB at 1.8 GHz/3 V/5 mA, fT = 22 GHz, and OIP3 = 27 dBm at 1.8 GHz/3 V/20 mA-enabling high-linearity, low-noise amplification in sub-1 GHz ISM and RKE receivers.
For engineers reviewing the BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 datasheet, BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 pinout, BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 application, or BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include noise figure vs. bias current trade-off, ESD robustness (1.5 kV HBM), transition frequency stability across IC, and TSLP-3-1 thermal resistance (RthJS = 210 K/W).
Technical Context
The BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 employs Infineon's fourth-generation SIEGET™ structure with emitter-grounded topology optimized for broadband LNA operation. Its fT of 22 GHz (typ.) and CCB of 0.28 pF (typ.) at 3 V support stable gain up to 3 GHz while minimizing Miller effect.
DC characteristics include hFE = 90–160 at VCE = 3 V/IC = 20 mA, with absolute max ratings of VCEO = 4.5 V and Ptot = 200 mW. The device is qualified per JEDEC JESD47/JESD22 and AEC-Q101 for industrial and automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the recommended DC bias for minimum noise figure?
For NFmin = 1.1 dB, bias the BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 at VCE = 3 V and IC = 5 mA using a stable base voltage divider or current source. The datasheet specifies this condition explicitly; increasing IC beyond 5 mA degrades NFmin due to increased thermal noise and base resistance effects.
Can this transistor be used in a common-base configuration?
Yes-the BFR460L3E6327XTMA1 supports common-base operation with verified AC characteristics at VCB = 3 V. However, its SIEGET™ structure is optimized for grounded-emitter use; common-base gain and OIP3 are not characterized in the datasheet, so design validation is required.
Is the TSLP-3-1 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-Infineon specifies compatibility with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. The TSLP-3-1's copper leadframe and thin mold compound enable uniform heating and reliable solder joint formation under standard lead-free profiles.
Does the 1.5 kV HBM ESD rating apply to all pins?
Yes-the 1.5 kV (typ.) HBM rating applies to all three terminals (B, E, C) per JEDEC JS-001 test conditions. The device uses integrated ESD protection diodes between base-emitter and collector-emitter junctions, confirmed by Infineon's qualification report for AEC-Q101.
