NXP Semiconductors MD7P19130HR5

Overview

MD7P19130HR5 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a laterally diffused N-channel RF power MOSFET designed for high-efficiency, high-linearity W-CDMA and CDMA base station final-stage amplification in the 1930–1990 MHz band. It delivers 40 W average output power at 28 V, achieves 20 dB power gain and –36 dBc ACPR at ±5 MHz offset under single-carrier W-CDMA conditions, and supports Class AB/C operation in multicarrier amplifier systems.

For engineers reviewing the MD7P19130HR5 datasheet, MD7P19130HR5 pinout, MD7P19130HR5 application, or MD7P19130HR5 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 130 W CW P1dB, 10:1 VSWR ruggedness at 32 V, integrated ESD protection per JESD22-A114 Class 1C, thermally optimized NI-780S-4 package, and series-equivalent large-signal impedance data for matching network design.

Technical Context

This device operates as a single-ended RF power transistor with internally matched input and output networks, enabling direct integration into 50 Ω test fixtures without external matching components. Its lateral LDMOS structure supports stable operation up to 225 °C junction temperature and features a gate threshold voltage of 1.2–2.7 Vdc and drain-source on-resistance of 0.1–0.3 Vdc at 3.16 A.

The MD7P19130HR5 is characterized using series-equivalent large-signal impedance parameters (e.g., Zsource = 7.07 + j0.89 Ω, Zload = 1.55 – j2.79 Ω at 1960 MHz), enabling precise broadband matching across its 60 MHz operating bandwidth. It exhibits 0.3 dB gain flatness and <0.5° average phase deviation at 130 W CW output, supporting Doherty and quadrature-combined topologies.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for MD7P19130HR5?

The MD7P19130HR5 does not specify a maximum continuous drain current (ID) rating independent of thermal conditions. Instead, its safe operating area is defined by junction temperature limits (225 °C max), case temperature (150 °C max), and thermal resistance (0.31 °C/W). Under typical 28 V, 40 W avg. W-CDMA operation, quiescent drain current IDQ is 1250 mA - this value is validated in functional testing and reflects steady-state bias conditions for linear amplification. MD7P19130HR5 must be used with appropriate heatsinking to maintain TC ≤ 150 °C.

Does MD7P19130HR5 require external matching networks for 50 Ω systems?

No, MD7P19130HR5 is internally matched for ease of use in 50 Ω systems. Its input and output impedances are pre-characterized (e.g., Zsource = 7.07 + j0.89 Ω, Zload = 1.55 – j2.79 Ω at 1960 MHz), and Freescale's reference test circuit demonstrates direct integration without discrete matching components. However, for optimal broadband performance or specific PA topology implementation (e.g., Doherty), fine-tuning with microstrip stubs or lumped elements may be applied - the internal matching reduces design risk but does not eliminate all layout-dependent tuning.

What is the gate threshold voltage range for MD7P19130HR5?

The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for MD7P19130HR5 is specified as 1.2–2.7 Vdc, measured at VDS = 10 Vdc and ID = 316 μAdc. This range reflects process variation across production lots and ensures reliable turn-on behavior across temperature (–30°C to +85°C) and voltage tolerances. In actual operation at 28 V drain supply and 1250 mA quiescent current, the gate quiescent voltage VGS(Q) is 1.9–3.4 Vdc - a critical parameter for setting stable Class AB bias points in base station amplifier designs using MD7P19130HR5.

Can MD7P19130HR5 be used in Class C amplifier configurations?

Yes, MD7P19130HR5 supports Class C operation due to its extended negative gate-source voltage range (VGS = –6.0 to +10 Vdc) and rugged lateral LDMOS structure. The datasheet explicitly states "Greater Negative Gate–Source Voltage Range for Improved Class C Operation" as a key feature. When biased deeply into cutoff, MD7P19130HR5 maintains stability and efficiency - however, harmonic filtering and output network design must account for increased harmonic content, and thermal management remains critical due to higher peak currents. MD7P19130HR5's 10:1 VSWR tolerance further enhances reliability in nonlinear switching-mode applications.

Is MD7P19130HR5 RoHS compliant and lead-free?

Yes, MD7P19130HR5 is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The datasheet explicitly lists "RoHS Compliant" among its features and specifies packaging in tape-and-reel format (R3 suffix = 250 units per 56 mm, 13 inch reel). The NI-780S-4 package uses lead-free solderable terminations and conforms to Directive 2011/65/EU. No exemptions are cited, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for surface-mount assembly processes.
