Product details
Overview
BLF7G24LS-160P from NXP Semiconductors is a 160 W LDMOS RF power transistor designed for base station amplifiers operating in the 2300–2400 MHz band. It delivers 30 W average RF output power with 18.5 dB power gain and 27.5% drain efficiency under IS-95 modulation at VDS = 28 V, IDq = 1200 mA, and Tcase = 25 °C - enabling high-linearity Doherty PA designs for 3G infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the BLF7G24LS-160P datasheet, BLF7G24LS-160P pinout, BLF7G24LS-160P application, or BLF7G24LS-160P equivalent, this page provides verified thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.2 K/W), ruggedness under VSWR = 10:1 mismatch, low memory effects for digital predistortion, internally matched broadband operation, and integrated ESD protection - all critical for cellular macro base station PA development.
Technical Context
This LDMOS transistor operates in common-source class-AB configuration with dual gate and dual drain terminals optimized for balanced push-pull or Doherty amplifier topologies. Its low output capacitance and internally matched 50 Ω input/output impedance simplify external matching network design across the full 2300–2400 MHz band.
Designed for high-reliability base station use, it features ruggedness validated at VSWR = 10:1 under full-power conditions (VDS = 28 V, PL = 160 W, f = 2300 MHz) and supports PAR = 9.7 dB at 0.01% CCDF probability - meeting stringent IS-95 multi-channel requirements with pilot, paging, sync, and six traffic channels.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLF7G24L-160P | SOT539A package with two mounting holes; identical electrical specs but flanged (not earless) mechanical form factor. | Requires screw-mounting hardware; better suited for legacy heatsink interfaces designed for flanged packages. | Select BLF7G24L-160P when mechanical compatibility with existing SOT539A-based PCB footprints or heatsink fixtures is required. |
| AFM34015S | 15 W GaN HEMT (2300–2400 MHz); higher gain (20.5 dB) and efficiency (45%), but lower P1dB and different biasing requirements. | Targeted at small-cell and micro base stations where size and efficiency outweigh raw power needs. | Choose AFM34015S only for low-power, high-efficiency applications - not a drop-in replacement for macro base station 30 W output requirements. |
Compared with BLF7G24L-160P, the BLF7G24LS-160P offers identical RF performance in an earless flanged package for simplified assembly, while AFM34015S trades power capability for GaN-level efficiency in lower-output scenarios - making BLF7G24LS-160P optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding macro base station final stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for BLF7G24LS-160P?
The BLF7G24LS-160P has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of 200 °C, as defined in Table 4 (Limiting Values) of the official NXP datasheet Rev. 5. This rating enables operation in high-ambient environments typical of outdoor base station enclosures when properly mounted to a heatsink with Rth(j-c) = 0.2 K/W.
Does BLF7G24LS-160P require external matching networks?
No - the BLF7G24LS-160P is internally matched for 50 Ω operation across 2300–2400 MHz, eliminating the need for external input/output matching components in standard class-AB amplifier designs. Matching is verified per Table 1 and Figure 1 (impedance definitions) in the NXP datasheet.
How does BLF7G24LS-160P support digital predistortion (DPD)?
The BLF7G24LS-160P is explicitly designed for low memory effects, as stated in Section 1.2 (Features and benefits). This characteristic minimizes dynamic nonlinearity variation over frequency and time, allowing DPD algorithms to converge faster and achieve lower residual ACLR - confirmed by its −45.5 dBc ACPR performance under IS-95 modulation.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range for BLF7G24LS-160P?
Per Table 6 (Characteristics), the gate-source threshold voltage for BLF7G24LS-160P is specified as 1.5 V (min), 1.9 V (typ), and 2.3 V (max) at VDS = 10 V and ID = 102 mA. This tight distribution supports consistent biasing across production lots in high-volume base station manufacturing.
Is BLF7G24LS-160P RoHS compliant?
Yes - the BLF7G24LS-160P complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), as confirmed in Section 1.2 (Features and benefits) of the NXP datasheet. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) above regulated thresholds.
