Product details
Overview
MRF24G300HSR5 from NXP Semiconductors is a 300 W CW GaN-on-SiC RF power transistor designed for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) applications at 2400–2500 MHz. It delivers 332 W output power, 15.2 dB power gain, and 73.0% drain efficiency at 2450 MHz under 48 Vdc bias with –5 Vdc gate drive, operating in CW, pulse, or linear modes.
For engineers reviewing the MRF24G300HSR5 datasheet, MRF24G300HSR5 pinout, MRF24G300HSR5 application, or MRF24G300HSR5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 125 Vds rating, –3.16 V threshold voltage, rugged >20:1 load mismatch tolerance at 2450 MHz pulse, thermal resistance of 0.52 °C/W (IR), and NI-780S-4L package compatibility.
Technical Context
This dual-gate GaN HEMT operates in depletion mode and requires precise bias sequencing: gate set to –5 V before applying 48 Vdc drain voltage. It supports both single-ended and push-pull configurations, with input matching integrated to simplify circuit design.
Thermal performance is enabled by SiC substrate and direct-source-to-heatsink mounting (backside source terminal). Reliability modeling uses channel temperature (TCH ≤ 350 °C) and finite-element thermal resistance RθCHC = 0.72 °C/W for MTTF estimation per JEDEC JEP150.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The MRF24G300HSR5 is housed in the NI-780S-4L air-cavity ceramic package (4-lead, flanged), with the backside metallization serving as the common source terminal. Mounting requires solder reflow per AN1908 for thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain A (Pin 1) | RF power output terminal (Side A) | Carries half the total RF output current; used independently or paralleled with Drain B in push-pull |
| Gate A (Pin 2) | Control electrode (Side A) | Accepts –5 Vdc bias; must be sequenced before VDS to prevent device damage |
| Drain B (Pin 3) | RF power output terminal (Side B) | Electrically identical to Drain A; enables balanced output or redundancy in critical systems |
| Gate B (Pin 4) | Control electrode (Side B) | Independent gate control allows asymmetric biasing or fault-isolated operation |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the correct bias sequence for safe operation of the MRF24G300HSR5?
The MRF24G300HSR5 requires strict gate-first bias sequencing: apply –5 Vdc to both gates before enabling 48 Vdc drain voltage. To turn off, remove RF input first, then return gates to –5 Vdc, reduce drain voltage to zero, and finally disable gate bias. Failure to follow this sequence risks catastrophic device failure due to GaN depletion-mode characteristics.
Does the MRF24G300HSR5 require external input matching in standard applications?
No - the MRF24G300HSR5 is input-matched per its reference circuit (5.0 cm × 7.0 cm Rogers RT6035HTC PCB). In the specified 2400–2500 MHz band with 48 Vdc/–5 Vdc bias, no external input matching network is needed, simplifying layout and reducing insertion loss versus unmatched alternatives like CGHV1F006S.
What thermal interface method is recommended for the MRF24G300HSR5?
NXP specifies solder reflow attachment per Application Note AN1908 for the MRF24G300HSR5. The backside source terminal must be soldered directly to a copper heatsink using Pb-free solder and controlled thermal profile to maintain RθJC = 0.52 °C/W. Thermal grease or mechanical clamping is not qualified and degrades reliability.
Can the MRF24G300HSR5 be used in push-pull configuration?
Yes - the MRF24G300HSR5 supports both single-ended and push-pull configurations. Its dual independent gates (Gate A/Gate B) and drains (Drain A/Drain B) allow symmetrical drive for improved harmonic suppression and power combining, as validated in NXP's reference design documentation.
Is the MRF24G300HSR5 suitable for linear RF applications such as medical ablation?
Yes - the MRF24G300HSR5 is characterized for linear operation with Class AB biasing. Its –3.16 V typical threshold voltage and stable gain flatness across 2400–2500 MHz enable precise amplitude modulation required in microwave ablation systems, as confirmed in Table 6 and Figure 4 of the official datasheet.
