Product details
Overview
BLC6G27LS-100,118 from Ampleon is a 140 W asymmetrical Doherty LDMOS power transistor designed for LTE base station RF power amplifiers operating from 2496 MHz to 2690 MHz. It delivers 28 W average output power with 14.5 dB gain and 43 % drain efficiency under 1-carrier W-CDMA conditions (PAR = 7.2 dB), and supports 119–178 W pulsed CW output at 3 dB compression.
For engineers reviewing the BLC6G27LS-100,118 datasheet, BLC6G27LS-100,118 pinout, BLC6G27LS-100,118 application, or BLC6G27LS-100,118 equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency, rugged Doherty PA designs requiring low memory effects, integrated ESD protection, and validated VSWR = 10:1 load mismatch tolerance in production-grade 2600 MHz macro base stations.
Technical Context
The BLC6G27LS-100,118 integrates two independently biased LDMOS devices - main and peak - in a single air-cavity plastic flanged package (SOT1275-1), enabling asymmetrical Doherty operation with decoupled video paths (pins 5 and 6) and separate gate/drain terminals for precise impedance tuning. Its internal matching simplifies PCB layout while maintaining broadband performance across the 2496–2690 MHz band.
Thermal design is enabled by ultra-low junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.221 K/W at 80 W), and ruggedness is confirmed under worst-case VSWR = 10:1 at 2496 MHz with 120 W CW. The device operates at VDS = 28 V, with main-device IDq = 320 mA and peak-device IDq = 660 mA, supporting high linearity via low output capacitance and optimized load-pull impedances.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFM30L025N | 25 W GaN HEMT; higher gain (18 dB), wider bandwidth (1800–3800 MHz), but lower ruggedness (VSWR = 6.5:1 max) | Suitable for small-cell and active antenna systems where size/efficiency outweigh VSWR tolerance needs | Select when prioritizing bandwidth and power density over field-deployment robustness |
| BLC8G27LS-140AV | Same die family, identical pinout and package (SOT1275-1), but rated for 140 W P3dB and higher IDq (450/600 mA); 0.2 dB higher Gp at 28 W | Direct upgrade path for higher-output macro sites requiring >30 W avg per carrier | Choose for new designs targeting >30 W avg output or extended thermal headroom |
Compared with AFM30L025N, BLC6G27LS-100,118 offers superior VSWR survivability and thermal stability for macro base stations, while BLC8G27LS-140AV provides higher output headroom within identical mechanical and layout constraints - making both alternatives application-specific rather than drop-in replacements.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain-source voltage rating for BLC6G27LS-100,118?
The BLC6G27LS-100,118 has an absolute maximum drain-source voltage (VDS) rating of 65 V, as specified in IEC 60134 limiting values. Operation above this voltage risks permanent device failure. The recommended operating condition is VDS = 28 V, which balances efficiency, linearity, and reliability for LTE base station applications.
Does BLC6G27LS-100,118 require external matching networks?
No, the BLC6G27LS-100,118 is internally matched for operation across 2496–2690 MHz, eliminating the need for external input/output matching components in standard Doherty demo board layouts. However, fine-tuning may be applied at system level for specific load-pull optimization or harmonic suppression.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for BLC6G27LS-100,118 at 80 W output?
At 80 W output power, the BLC6G27LS-100,118 exhibits a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (Rth(j-case)) of 0.221 K/W. This value is measured under defined conditions: Tcase = 80 °C, VDS = 28 V, IDq = 320 mA (main), and VGS(amp)peak = 0.6 V - enabling accurate heatsink sizing for macro base station thermal management.
Is BLC6G27LS-100,118 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the BLC6G27LS-100,118 is compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC. This compliance is explicitly stated in the product data sheet section 1.2 and verified through Ampleon's material declaration and manufacturing controls.
What is the video bandwidth (VBW) performance of BLC6G27LS-100,118 in Doherty operation?
The BLC6G27LS-100,118 delivers a typical video bandwidth of 110 MHz in Doherty demo board configuration at 2600 MHz, VDS = 28 V, IDq = 320 mA, and VGS(amp)peak = 0.6 V.
