Product details
Overview
MRFE6P3300HR5 from Freescale Semiconductor is an N-channel enhancement-mode lateral RF power MOSFET designed for broadband large-signal common-source amplifier applications in 32 V analog/digital TV transmitters operating from 470 to 860 MHz. It delivers 270 W PEP output at 860 MHz with 20.4 dB power gain and 44.8% drain efficiency under VDD = 32 V, IDQ = 1600 mA conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MRFE6P3300HR5 datasheet, MRFE6P3300HR5 pinout, MRFE6P3300HR5 application, or MRFE6P3300HR5 equivalent, key selection factors include ruggedness for 10:1 VSWR operation at 32 V/860 MHz, internal input/output matching, push-pull configuration requirement, ESD protection class (HBM 3B), and thermal resistance of 0.27 °C/W at 100 W CW.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-power RF amplifier stage in terrestrial broadcast infrastructure, specifically optimized for narrowband and OFDM-based DVB-T signals in the UHF band. Its lateral LDMOS structure supports 225 °C maximum junction temperature and is qualified for continuous 32 V drain supply operation.
Internally matched design eliminates external input/output matching networks for standard 50 Ω systems, while series-equivalent large-signal impedance parameters (e.g., Zsource = 4.22 − j6.38 Ω, Zload = 5.18 − j0.58 Ω at 860 MHz) enable precise broadband circuit synthesis. Push-pull operation is mandatory per design specification.

Pinout & Package
MRFE6P3300HR5 is housed in the NI-860C3 package (Case 375G-04, Style 1), a flanged ceramic/metal hermetic package with five terminals optimized for high-power RF thermal and electrical performance. Mounting requires torque-controlled screws (recommended bolt center: 1.140″) and thermally conductive interface material.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Drain | High-current RF output node | Connected internally to both drain regions; must be DC-grounded via low-inductance path to heatsink; primary heat dissipation path. |
| 2. Drain | High-current RF output node | Second drain terminal tied internally to Pin 1; used for symmetrical current sharing and thermal spreading in push-pull layout. |
| 3. Gate | RF input control terminal | Accepts bias and RF drive; requires stable negative/zero gate voltage during operation; sensitive to ESD and parasitic oscillation. |
| 4. Gate | RF input control terminal | Second gate terminal tied internally to Pin 3; enables balanced push-pull gate drive with minimized common-mode imbalance. |
| 5. Source | Common reference and return path | DC and RF return for both drain and gate paths; must be low-impedance connection to ground plane; critical for stability and IMD performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally matched I/O | Eliminates discrete matching networks for 50 Ω systems-reduces PCB area, component count, and tuning time in production TV transmitter modules. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for MRFE6P3300HR5?
The MRFE6P3300HR5 is qualified for continuous operation up to +66 VDS and +12 VGS, but its specified functional rating is 32 VDD. Operation beyond 32 V is not validated for RF performance or reliability; all published gain, efficiency, and IMD data assume VDD = 32 Vdc. Exceeding this voltage voids guaranteed specifications.
Is MRFE6P3300HR5 pin-compatible with MRFE6P3300HR3?
Yes, MRFE6P3300HR5 is fully pin-compatible with MRFE6P3300HR3-both share identical NI-860C3 package (Case 375G-04, Style 1), identical pinout (Drain-Drain-Gate-Gate-Source), and identical mechanical mounting dimensions. The only difference is tape-and-reel quantity: R5 = 50 units, R3 = 250 units.
Does MRFE6P3300HR5 support single-ended operation?
No, MRFE6P3300HR5 is explicitly designed for push-pull operation only. The datasheet states this as a hard requirement: "Designed for Push-Pull Operation Only." Single-ended use violates thermal and linearity design assumptions and risks instability, asymmetrical heating, and premature failure.
What thermal interface material is recommended for MRFE6P3300HR5?
Freescale recommends a thermally conductive, electrically insulating interface material (e.g., Bergquist Sil-Pad 1000 or Parker Chomerics Thermasil 300) between the MRFE6P3300HR5 flange and heatsink. Mounting torque must be controlled to 10–12 in-lb per screw to maintain 0.27 °C/W RθJC and avoid ceramic cracking or solder joint fatigue.
Can MRFE6P3300HR5 be used in S-band (2–4 GHz) applications?
No, MRFE6P3300HR5 is characterized and optimized exclusively for 470–860 MHz operation. Its gain drops sharply above 900 MHz, and internal matching is ineffective beyond UHF. For S-band, Freescale's MRF6V2300N or NXP's AFT09MS007NT1 are appropriate alternatives with validated 2–4 GHz performance.
