Product details
Overview
MRF6S27085HR3 from Freescale Semiconductor is an N-channel enhancement-mode lateral RF power MOSFET designed for 2600–2700 MHz CDMA base station amplifiers, delivering 20 W average RF output power at 28 VDC with 15.5 dB power gain and −48 dBc ACPR (885 kHz offset, 30 kHz BW). It operates in Class AB/C configurations and supports WiMAX/WiBro multicarrier applications.
For engineers reviewing the MRF6S27085HR3 datasheet, MRF6S27085HR3 pinout, MRF6S27085HR3 application, or MRF6S27085HR3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 225°C maximum junction temperature, 0.50°C/W thermal resistance (85 W CW), NI-780S package with drain-gate-source pinout, and verified 10:1 VSWR ruggedness at 2650 MHz.
Technical Context
This device employs a laterally diffused MOS (LDMOS) structure optimized for broadband RF power amplification in the 2.6–2.7 GHz band. Its internally matched input/output enables simplified PCB layout while maintaining low memory effects and wide instantaneous bandwidth-critical for N-CDMA signal fidelity with 9.8 dB PAR.
Thermal design is anchored by a copper flange package (NI-780S) and validated junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.50°C/W at 85 W CW. ESD protection meets JESD22-A114 Class 3A (HBM), JESD22-A115 Class A (MM), and JESD22-C101 Class IV (CDM), supporting robust manufacturing handling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP MRFE6S9085NR1 | Same frequency band (2620–2690 MHz), higher P1dB (52.5 dBm), lower RθJC (0.45°C/W), but requires external input matching. | Better suited for ultra-high-linearity systems needing >25 W PEP; less tolerant of VSWR stress than MRF6S27085HR3. | Select when absolute ACPR < −50 dBc is required and board space allows discrete matching networks. |
| STMicroelectronics PD85003 | 2620–2690 MHz, 20 W avg., 14.5 dB gain, 21% efficiency, 0.55°C/W RθJC, no integrated ESD protection. | Limited to lower-PAR signals; requires external ESD protection circuitry and tighter thermal management. | Choose for cost-sensitive WLL deployments where IS-95 compliance is secondary to BOM reduction. |
Compared with MRF6S27085HR3, the MRFE6S9085NR1 offers superior small-signal linearity but demands more complex layout; the PD85003 reduces cost but increases design risk due to missing on-die ESD and higher thermal resistance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain voltage rating for the MRF6S27085HR3?
The MRF6S27085HR3 has a maximum drain-source voltage (VDSS) rating of +68 VDC. This allows safe operation under transient voltage spikes common in RF PA bias circuits and supports design margin above the standard 28 VDC supply rail used in most CDMA base station applications. The device is qualified for up to 32 VDD operation, confirming robustness within typical system voltage tolerances.
Does the MRF6S27085HR3 require external input/output matching networks?
No, the MRF6S27085HR3 is internally matched for operation between 2600–2700 MHz, eliminating the need for external matching components in standard CDMA/WiMAX applications. Its series-equivalent source and load impedances (e.g., Zsource = 5.80 − j3.75 Ω at 2645 MHz) are fully characterized and published, enabling precise custom matching if needed-but baseline designs achieve target gain and ACPR without added components.
What thermal interface material is recommended for mounting the MRF6S27085HR3?
A high-thermal-conductivity, electrically insulating thermal interface material (TIM) such as Dow Corning TC-5122 or Parker Chomerics CHO-THERM 3000 is recommended for mounting the MRF6S27085HR3. The NI-780S package's copper flange requires uniform pressure and low bondline thickness (< 0.05 mm) to realize the specified 0.50°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance at 85 W CW operation.
Can the MRF6S27085HR3 operate reliably under 10:1 VSWR conditions?
Yes, the MRF6S27085HR3 is characterized to withstand 10:1 VSWR at 2650 MHz, 28 VDC, and 85 W CW output power without degradation or latch-up. This ruggedness rating is verified per Freescale's internal test methodology and enables deployment in antenna systems where impedance mismatches may occur-reducing or eliminating the need for circulators or VSWR protection circuitry.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the MRF6S27085HR3?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for the MRF6S27085HR3 is specified from 1.0 VDC to 3.0 VDC at VDS = 10 VDC and ID = 250 μADC. This range ensures predictable turn-on behavior across process variation and supports stable Class AB biasing at the typical quiescent gate voltage (VGS(Q)) of 2.0–4.0 VDC under 28 VDC supply and 900 mA IDQ conditions.
