Product details
Overview
PTFA080551E from Infineon Technologies is a thermally-enhanced, internally matched 55 W LDMOS RF power transistor for base station amplifiers in 869–960 MHz EDGE and CDMA2000 systems. It delivers 26 W average output power at 959.8 MHz with 18 dB gain and 44% drain efficiency under 28 V/450 mA bias, featuring full gold metallization and integrated ESD protection (HBM Class 2).
For engineers reviewing the PTFA080551E datasheet, PTFA080551E pinout, PTFA080551E application, or PTFA080551E equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability, multi-carrier RF power stages requiring stable thermal performance, broadband matching, and robust 10:1 VSWR tolerance at 28 V CW operation.
Technical Context
This LDMOS FET operates as a single-ended, Class AB RF power amplifier stage optimized for wideband modulation schemes including EDGE and IS-95 CDMA. Its internal broadband matching covers 869–960 MHz without external tuning components, and its thermally-enhanced slotted flange package (Outline 30265) achieves RθJC = 0.8 °C/W.
The device supports high linearity with –31 dBc typical third-order IMD at 55 W PEP, –60 dBc ACPR at 400 kHz offset, and 2.5% RMS EVM in EDGE mode. Gate threshold voltage is 2.3 V (typ), with V(BR)DSS = 65 V and RDS(on) = 0.15 Ω, enabling stable operation under dynamic load and temperature variation.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
PTFA080551E uses a thermally-enhanced slotted flange, single-ended metal-ceramic package (Infineon Outline 30265), with the flange serving as the drain terminal and electrically isolated mounting surface. The package features gold-plated leads and a hermetically sealed ceramic body for long-term reliability in outdoor base station environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Flange) | High-current RF output path and primary heat sink interface | Must be soldered to copper thermal pad with ≥0.8 mm thick thermal interface material; electrically connected to RF output network ground |
| Source | RF return path and DC current return | Connected directly to ground plane; forms low-inductance return loop critical for stability above 900 MHz |
| Gate | RF input control terminal | Bias applied via 5.1 Ω series resistor (R5); requires DC blocking and impedance-matching network per reference circuit l4–l5 |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRF6P21190HR5 | Higher P1dB (190 W), wider bandwidth (1805–2200 MHz), but lower gain (15.5 dB) and no integrated ESD protection | Targeted for PCS/UMTS bands; requires external ESD diodes and tighter thermal management due to RθJC = 0.95 °C/W | Select when operating above 1.8 GHz or requiring >150 W peak power; not drop-in for 869–960 MHz EDGE/CDMA |
| PD85008 | Lower power (8 W), smaller SOT-1227 package, 50% lower RθJC (1.6 °C/W), but no broadband matching - requires external matching network | Designed for small-cell femtocell and repeater applications; lacks 10:1 VSWR rating and gold metallization | Choose for space-constrained indoor units where thermal mass is limited and external matching is acceptable |
Compared with MRF6P21190HR5 and PD85008, PTFA080551E uniquely balances 55 W broadband output, integrated matching, and ruggedized thermal/ESD design for outdoor macrocell deployment-making it irreplaceable in 869–960 MHz base station final stages without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating drain voltage for PTFA080551E?
The absolute maximum drain-source voltage (VDSS) is 65 V, but the device is characterized and qualified for continuous operation at 28 V DC. Operation above 32 V requires derating of output power and verification of gate bias stability per the datasheet's "Output Power vs. Drain Voltage" curve on page 5.
Does PTFA080551E require external gate protection diodes?
No-PTFA080551E integrates ESD protection rated to HBM Class 2 (≥2 kV), eliminating the need for external gate protection diodes in standard RF PA layouts. However, transient voltage suppressors are still recommended on the RF output path for lightning-induced surges in outdoor installations.
Can PTFA080551E be used in Doherty amplifier configurations?
Yes-the device's broadband matching, high linearity (–31 dBc IMD), and thermal stability make it suitable as a main or peaking amplifier in Doherty topologies. Reference designs using two PTFA080551E units in push-pull configuration achieve >50% average efficiency at 6 dB OBO in 900 MHz band.
What is the recommended gate bias network for EDGE modulation?
Per the datasheet reference circuit (page 7), use a 5.1 Ω series resistor (R5) between the gate bias supply and gate terminal, with DC blocking capacitors (C3, C10, C11) and a 5.1 kΩ pull-down resistor (R7). This network stabilizes quiescent current against temperature drift while preserving modulation bandwidth up to 1.25 MHz.
