Product details
Overview
PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1 from Infineon is a thermally-enhanced, 100 W internally-matched LDMOS RF power transistor designed for base station final-stage amplification in WCDMA (1930–1990 MHz), IS-95, and CDMA2000 systems. It delivers 25 W average output power with 17.0 dB linear gain and 27.5% drain efficiency under two-carrier WCDMA conditions at 1960 MHz and 30 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1 datasheet, PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1 pinout, PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1 application, or PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1 equivalent, this device supports high-linearity, high-efficiency RF power amplification in multi-carrier cellular infrastructure where thermal stability, broadband matching, and rugged 10:1 VSWR tolerance are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This LDMOS FET operates as a single-ended, Class AB RF power amplifier stage with fixed gate bias (VGS = 2.5 V typ. at IDQ = 900 mA) and optimized internal broadband matching to 50 Ω source/load impedances across 1930–1990 MHz. Its thermally-enhanced H-36248-2 package enables junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.42 °C/W at 100 W CW.
The device is characterized for 3GPP-compliant WCDMA signals (8 dB PAPR, 10 MHz carrier spacing), delivering –37 dBc IM3 and –41.0 dBc ACPR at 44 dBm average output. It sustains 130 W P–1dB in CW mode with 56% efficiency, and withstands 10:1 VSWR at full 100 W CW output without damage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PTFA191001FV4R250XTMA1 | H-37248-2 earless flange package; identical RF specs but different thermal mounting interface and slightly higher RθJC (0.45 °C/W). | Preferred for automated SMT assembly where flange soldering is impractical; requires revised heatsink clamping. | Select when board-level automation or reduced mechanical stress on flange is prioritized over absolute minimum thermal resistance. |
| PD57018-E | 180 W GaN HEMT (1930–2110 MHz); higher P–1dB (180 W), 58% CW efficiency, but no integrated ESD protection and requires external matching. | Suitable for next-gen 3G/4G hybrid PAs needing higher peak power; demands more complex bias sequencing and thermal design. | Choose only if >130 W P–1dB and >55% CW efficiency are mandatory and design resources exist for GaN-specific layout and protection. |
Compared with PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1, the PTFA191001F variant offers identical RF performance with simplified assembly, while PD57018-E trades ruggedness and integration for raw power and efficiency-making the original the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained WCDMA infrastructure upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1?
The absolute maximum drain-source voltage (VDSS) is 65 V, but the device is characterized and qualified for continuous operation at 30 V DC supply. Exceeding 30 V risks exceeding the specified 100 W CW rating and may trigger thermal runaway due to increased power dissipation beyond the 417 W total device dissipation limit at 25 °C ambient.
Does PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1 require external matching components?
No external matching is required for standard 50 Ω input/output interfaces-the device features broadband internal matching across 1930–1990 MHz. However, the reference circuit includes DC blocking capacitors, gate bias resistors, and decoupling elements to ensure stable biasing and RF isolation; these are mandatory for reliable operation but not impedance-matching components.
How does the H-36248-2 package differ from standard TO-272 variants?
The H-36248-2 package uses a slotted copper flange with enhanced thermal conduction geometry and ceramic sidewalls, achieving 0.42 °C/W junction-to-case resistance-up to 30% lower than legacy TO-272 packages. Its flange is designed for direct bolt-down mounting with thermal paste, not solder reflow, and includes integrated ESD protection not found in generic TO-272 outlines.
Can PTFA191001EV4R250XTMA1 be used in LTE or 5G applications?
While not characterized for LTE or 5G NR waveforms, its 1930–1990 MHz frequency coverage overlaps Band 1 (LTE) and n1 (5G). Successful use requires validation of ACLR, EVM, and thermal behavior under 20 MHz+ OFDMA signals; Infineon does not guarantee performance outside WCDMA/CDMA2000 specifications, and adjacent-channel leakage may exceed regulatory limits without DPD.
