Product details
Overview
MRF6VP3450HSR5 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a lateral N-channel enhancement-mode RF power MOSFET designed for broadband push-pull amplifier operation in 470–860 MHz television transmitter systems. It delivers 450 W PEP at 22 dB gain and 44% drain efficiency under 50 Vdc bias, with 90 W average output in DVB-T OFDM at 860 MHz and –62 dBc ACPR.
For engineers reviewing the MRF6VP3450HSR5 datasheet, MRF6VP3450HSR5 pinout, MRF6VP3450HSR5 application, or MRF6VP3450HSR5 equivalent, this device requires attention to its dual-gate/dual-drain configuration, 10:1 VSWR ruggedness, series-equivalent impedance matching, thermal resistance of 0.25°C/W at 450 W CW, and RoHS-compliant NI-1230S package.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-power RF transistor in common-source, push-pull configurations, characterized with series-equivalent large-signal impedance parameters for 470–860 MHz broadband amplification. Its internal input matching simplifies external network design, while integrated ESD protection meets JESD22-A114 Class 1B, A115 Class B, and C101 Class IV standards.
The MRF6VP3450HSR5 supports both pulsed (50 μs, 2.5% duty cycle) and continuous-wave operation up to 225°C junction temperature, with validated performance at 50 Vdc supply, 1400 mA quiescent drain current, and capability to withstand 10:1 VSWR at all phase angles - critical for broadcast transmitter front-end robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the MRF6VP3450HSR5?
The MRF6VP3450HSR5 does not specify a maximum continuous drain current (ID) rating independent of thermal conditions. Instead, it is characterized at 1400 mA quiescent drain current (IDQ) under 50 Vdc bias for DVB-T and two-tone testing. Its safe operating area is defined by voltage, power, and junction temperature limits - with maximum junction temperature set at 225°C and thermal resistance of 0.25°C/W at 450 W CW. Actual usable ID depends on heatsink performance and ambient conditions.
Does the MRF6VP3450HSR5 require external gate matching networks?
No - the MRF6VP3450HSR5 is internally input-matched, meaning its gate impedance is pre-tuned to simplify integration into 50 Ω systems. This eliminates the need for discrete gate matching components in most broadband amplifier designs, though external stabilization or harmonic filtering may still be required depending on layout and application-specific linearity targets.
Can the MRF6VP3450HSR5 be used in single-ended configurations?
The MRF6VP3450HSR5 is explicitly designed and characterized for push-pull operation, with dual gate and dual drain terminals optimized for balanced drive and output. While electrically functional in single-ended mode, doing so forfeits specified performance - including IM3, ACPR, and efficiency - and voids guaranteed ruggedness ratings like 10:1 VSWR tolerance. NXP recommends using it only in push-pull per datasheet guidance.
What is the ACPR performance of the MRF6VP3450HSR5 in DVB-T applications?
The MRF6VP3450HSR5 achieves –62 dBc adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) at ±4 MHz offset with 4 kHz measurement bandwidth, measured under DVB-T OFDM conditions: 860 MHz, 90 W average output, 8K mode, 64-QAM, and 10 dB PAR. This meets ETSI EN 300 744 spectral emission requirements for terrestrial digital TV transmitters.
Is the MRF6VP3450HSR5 lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the MRF6VP3450HSR5 is RoHS compliant and manufactured with lead-free terminations and packaging. This is explicitly stated in the Freescale (now NXP) datasheet Rev. 4, April 2010, and confirmed by its qualification per JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and JESD22 reliability standards.
