Product details
Overview
BLF8G22LS-310AV from Ampleon is a 310 W LDMOS asymmetric Doherty power transistor designed for base station RF power amplifiers operating at 1900–2000 MHz. It delivers 47.5 dBm average output power, 17 dB power gain, and 42.5% drain efficiency under 1-carrier W-CDMA test conditions (PAR = 9.65 dB), with rugged VSWR = 10:1 load mismatch tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the BLF8G22LS-310AV datasheet, BLF8G22LS-310AV pinout, BLF8G22LS-310AV application, or BLF8G22LS-310AV equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated ESD protection, low thermal resistance (0.30 K/W), internally matched 50 Ω input/output, Doherty-optimized output capacitance, and suitability for multi-carrier W-CDMA and LTE infrastructure amplifiers requiring high linearity and digital pre-distortion capability.
Technical Context
The BLF8G22LS-310AV implements a dual-gate, dual-drain LDMOS structure with physically separate main and peak amplifier cells in a single air-cavity flanged package. Its asymmetrical Doherty architecture enables high efficiency across back-off ranges, supported by low memory effects and optimized impedance matching for 1930–1995 MHz operation.
It operates at VDS = 28 V with quiescent currents of 650 mA (main) and 1100 mA (peak), and features gate-source voltage ratings up to +13 V for both amplifier sections. Thermal design is enabled by direct flange mounting and a case-to-junction thermal resistance of 0.30 K/W at 56 W CW output.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLF8G22LS-310 | Same die, non-flanged SOT1258-2 package; no integrated flange grounding | Requires external thermal interface and RF grounding; less rugged under VSWR stress | Select when board-level thermal management allows discrete heatsinking and cost sensitivity outweighs ruggedness needs |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain-source voltage rating for BLF8G22LS-310AV?
The BLF8G22LS-310AV has an absolute maximum drain-source voltage (VDS) rating of 65 V, per IEC 60134 limiting values. This rating applies under all operating conditions and must not be exceeded to ensure device reliability. Operation at 28 V DC supply is standard for base station applications, providing sufficient headroom for transient voltage spikes and envelope tracking waveforms. The BLF8G22LS-310AV maintains safe operation within this limit across its full temperature range.
Does BLF8G22LS-310AV require external matching networks?
No, the BLF8G22LS-310AV is internally matched to 50 Ω at both input and output, eliminating the need for external matching components in standard Doherty reference designs. This simplifies PCB layout, reduces component count, and improves repeatability across production units. However, fine-tuning may be applied for specific load-pull optimization or harmonic suppression-particularly at the combiner node-using the recommended impedances published in Tables 9–14 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for BLF8G22LS-310AV?
The BLF8G22LS-310AV has a typical thermal resistance from junction to case (Rth(j-c)) of 0.30 K/W, measured under CW conditions at 56 W output power and 80 °C case temperature. This value is consistent across 56 W and 89 W CW operation, confirming stable thermal performance at high power levels. Proper mechanical mounting-using specified torque and thermal interface material-is required to achieve this rating in end equipment.
How does BLF8G22LS-310AV perform under load mismatch conditions?
The BLF8G22LS-310AV is fully ruggedized for VSWR = 10:1 at all phase angles under 1-carrier W-CDMA conditions (PL = 90 W, PAR = 9.65 dB, f = 1930 MHz). This capability is validated per Ampleon's internal ruggedness test protocol and enables reliable operation with imperfect antenna systems or faulty RF cables. No derating or protection circuitry is required, making it suitable for unattended macrocell deployments where field maintenance is infrequent.
Is BLF8G22LS-310AV compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, the BLF8G22LS-310AV complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) and meets REACH SVHC requirements as confirmed in Ampleon's official product declaration. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and all homogeneous materials are fully traceable. Full compliance documentation-including substance declarations and test reports-is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics for audit and certification purposes.
