Product details
Overview
BLF2425M7LS140 from NXP Semiconductors is a 140 W LDMOS power transistor designed for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) RF power amplification at 2400–2500 MHz. It operates in common-source class-AB configuration with 28 V drain supply, delivers 18.5 dB power gain, achieves 52% drain efficiency, and features internally matched input/output for simplified broadband design.
For engineers reviewing the BLF2425M7LS140 datasheet, BLF2425M7LS140 pinout, BLF2425M7LS140 application, or BLF2425M7LS140 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, thermal resistance (0.28 K/W), ruggedness under 10:1 VSWR, RoHS-compliant ceramic packaging, and real-world RF performance at 2450 MHz CW operation.
Technical Context
This LDMOS transistor uses laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor technology optimized for high-power continuous-wave (CW) operation in ISM band applications. Its design supports stable class-AB biasing at 1300 mA quiescent drain current and integrates ESD protection per ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards.
The device exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 225 °C junction temperature and withstands load mismatches of VSWR = 10:1 across all phases at 2450 MHz, 28 V, and 140 W output. Its internally matched 50 Ω input and output impedance simplifies PCB layout in RF power amplifier stages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDMOS RF power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLF2425M7L140 | SOT502A package with two mounting holes; identical electrical specs and thermal resistance. | Requires mechanical mounting with screws; preferred where enhanced mechanical stability or vibration resistance is needed. | Select BLF2425M7L140 when board-level mechanical rigidity is critical; BLF2425M7LS140 suits space-constrained layouts needing earless footprint. |
| CGH40010F | GaN HEMT; higher gain (20 dB), wider bandwidth (1.8–2.7 GHz), but lower ruggedness (VSWR = 6.5:1 max). | Better efficiency above 2500 MHz; less tolerant of mismatch in plasma or heating loads. | Choose CGH40010F for multi-band or higher-frequency extensions; retain BLF2425M7LS140 for proven 10:1 VSWR robustness in fixed ISM-band systems. |
Compared with BLF2425M7L140, the BLF2425M7LS140 offers identical RF performance in a more compact earless package, while CGH40010F trades ruggedness for broader bandwidth and marginally higher gain-making BLF2425M7LS140 optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability ISM-band amplifiers where mechanical simplicity matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for BLF2425M7LS140?
The BLF2425M7LS140 is characterized at 1300 mA quiescent drain current (IDq) in class-AB operation. Its absolute maximum drain current is not explicitly specified, but limiting values define VDS ≤ 65 V and Tj ≤ 225 °C. Operation must remain within safe operating area boundaries defined by simultaneous voltage, current, and thermal constraints in the datasheet.
Does BLF2425M7LS140 require external matching components?
No, BLF2425M7LS140 is internally matched for 50 Ω input and output impedance across 2400–2500 MHz. While external harmonic filtering or stabilization may be needed depending on system requirements, no primary impedance transformation networks are required for fundamental-band operation in a well-designed PCB layout.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for BLF2425M7LS140?
The thermal resistance from junction to case (Rth(j-c)) for BLF2425M7LS140 is 0.28 K/W, measured at Tcase = 80 °C and PL = 125 W. This value assumes proper mounting to a flat, smooth heatsink with recommended torque and thermal interface material.
Is BLF2425M7LS140 suitable for pulsed RF applications?
The BLF2425M7LS140 datasheet specifies performance for continuous wave (CW) operation only. While its ruggedness and thermal design support some pulsed duty cycles, NXP does not characterize or guarantee parameters such as peak power, pulse width tolerance, or duty cycle limits-designers must validate pulsed behavior empirically per application requirements.
How does BLF2425M7LS140 differ from BLF2425M7L140?
BLF2425M7LS140 and BLF2425M7L140 share identical electrical specifications, thermal performance, and RF characteristics. The sole difference is mechanical: BLF2425M7LS140 uses the earless SOT502B ceramic package, while BLF2425M7L140 uses the eared SOT502A package with two mounting holes-offering distinct PCB mounting options without functional trade-offs.
