Advanced Power Technology Inc. (APT, Bend, OR) announced the addition of the ARF1500, ARF1501 and ARF1502 to its family of high-power, super-rugged, high-voltage RF power MOSFETs.
The ARF1500, ARF1501 and ARF1502 are designed for high-power, industrial RF generator/amplifier applications below 50MHz. They feature power dissipation of 1,500W and nominal operating voltages up to 150V, 300V and 65V, respectively. These new RF power MOSFETs now make it possible to produce 900W of 27MHz RF power with a single device in a 1in x 2in footprint, enabling very high power densities along with significant savings in system circuit complexity and cost.
The ARF1500 family is available in APT's new low-cost, high-performance, flangeless package. To obtain the high power dissipation, the backside of the package is lapped to provide an optimum thermal interface surface to mate with the system heatsink. The six-lead format of the package ensures minimum package parasitic inductance resulting in increased gain and improved stability. The co-planar lead arrangement facilitates circuit layout and provides over 2,500V isolation between any terminal and the mounting surface.
Pricing for the ARF1500 is $162, $175 for the ARF1501, and $161 for the ARF1502, in quantities of 100 pieces. Samples are available in four weeks ARO, and full production quantities will be available in fourth-quarter 2001.
