NXP Semiconductors OM7828/BGA6130/KIT,598

Overview

OM7828/BGA6130/KIT from NXP Semiconductors is an evaluation kit for the BGA6130 400–2700 MHz, 1 W silicon RF power amplifier. It includes two pre-matched 50 Ω RF boards (434 MHz and 915 MHz ISM bands), unpopulated PCB, SMA connectors, BGA6130 samples, and a USB drive with models, Gerber files, and datasheet - enabling rapid prototyping and impedance tuning.

For engineers reviewing the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT datasheet, OM7828/BGA6130/KIT pinout, OM7828/BGA6130/KIT application, or OM7828/BGA6130/KIT equivalent, this kit supports fast validation of BGA6130 performance in ISM-band transmitters, custom matching network development, and RF power stage characterization at 3.6 V / 70 mA operating point.

Technical Context

The OM7828/BGA6130/KIT provides two fully assembled, 50 Ω input/output matched RF evaluation boards targeting industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands at 434 MHz and 915 MHz. Each board operates from a single 3.6 V supply and draws 70 mA, aligning with the BGA6130's specified DC bias conditions for 1 W RF output.

It includes an unpopulated PCB for custom matching circuit implementation, supported by device S-parameters and nonlinear models delivered on the included USB flash drive - enabling simulation-driven design iteration prior to hardware revision.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT?

The OM7828/BGA6130/KIT is an evaluation kit designed specifically for rapid characterization and prototyping of the BGA6130 RF power amplifier. It provides two pre-matched 50 Ω RF boards (434 MHz and 915 MHz), sample devices, and simulation models - enabling engineers to validate gain, efficiency, and linearity without designing custom PCBs. The OM7828/BGA6130/KIT accelerates development of ISM-band transmitters and low-power wireless systems.

Does the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT include BGA6130 samples?

Yes, the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT includes physical BGA6130 amplifier samples for hands-on prototyping and functional testing. These are the same 400–2700 MHz, 1 W silicon RF devices used on the pre-populated evaluation boards. The OM7828/BGA6130/KIT also supplies an unpopulated PCB to support custom layout and matching network experimentation using the included device models.

What design resources are provided on the USB flash drive included with the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT?

The USB flash drive in the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT contains the BGA6130 datasheet, user manual, Gerber files for both RF boards, S-parameter datasets (.s2p), and nonlinear device models compatible with industry-standard RF simulation tools. These resources allow engineers to replicate, simulate, and optimize matching networks before committing to new PCB spins - directly supporting the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT's role as a complete RF development accelerator.

Can the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT be used outside the 434 MHz and 915 MHz bands?

Yes - while the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT includes two pre-matched boards for 434 MHz and 915 MHz, the BGA6130 itself operates from 400 MHz to 2700 MHz. The unpopulated PCB and included S-parameters enable users to design custom matching networks for other frequencies in that range. The OM7828/BGA6130/KIT thus supports broader exploration beyond the default ISM bands when combined with simulation and measurement.

Is the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT suitable for production-level RF design validation?

Yes, the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT delivers production-relevant RF performance data: its pre-matched boards use the exact BGA6130 die and match topology referenced in NXP's characterization reports, and all included models are extracted from measured data. Engineers use the OM7828/BGA6130/KIT to verify PA behavior under real-world bias, thermal, and impedance conditions - making it suitable for pre-compliance testing and final-stage design sign-off.
