Richardson RFPD Introduces New 750 W CW, 700–1300 MHz RF Transistor From NXP

Engineered to replace magnetrons, for better ease-of-use and new-use cases

Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced recently the availability and full design support capabilities for a new RF power LDMOS transistor from NXP Semiconductors.

The MRF13750H / MRF13750HS, available in bolt-down and solder-down styles, is a 750 W continuous wave transistor designed for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications in the 700 to 1300 MHz frequency range. It is capable of CW or pulse power in narrowband operations.

The new transistor is internally input-matched, can be used single-ended or in a push-pull configuration and is characterized for 30 to 50 V. It is suitable for linear applications with appropriate biasing and includes integrated ESD protection.

The MRF13750H/HS offers ease-of-use to microwave generator designers, delivering precision, control and reliability not available with vacuum tube-era technologies such as magnetrons. It supports accurate power control over the full dynamic range from 0 to 750 W, enabling frequency shifting that helps make precise use of RF energy.

Typical ISM applications for the MRF13750H/HS include 915 MHz industrial heating and welding systems and 1300 MHz particle accelerators.

An associated test fixture tuned to 915 MHz is available.

Additional key features of the MRF13750H / MRF13750HS include:

  • 750 W CW @ 915 MHz with 63% efficiency
  • 700 W CW @ 1300 MHz with 70% efficiency
  • NI-1230 air-cavity ceramic package
  • 0.15º C/W thermal resistance
  • High ruggedness: handles 10:1 VSWR
  • Internally input matched
  • On NXP’s 15-year longevity program
