Operation with TMAX at 350C will reduce median time to failure. Characterized in 30-940 MHz reference circuit at 940 MHz and 80 W CW output power. Refer to AN1955, Thermal Measurement Methodology of RF Power Amplifiers. Go to http://www.nxp.com/RF and search for AN1955. RCHC (FEA) must be used for purposes related to reliability and limitations on maximum channel temperature. MTTF may be estimated by the expression MTTF (hours) = 10[A + B/(T + 273)], where T is the channel temperature in degrees Celsius, A = -10.3 and B = 8260. MMRF5017HS 2 RF Device Data NXP Semiconductors NOTE: Correct Biasing Sequence for GaN Depletion Mode Transistors Turning the device ON 1. Set VGS to -5 V 2. Turn on VDS to nominal supply voltage (50 V) 3. Increase VGS until IDS current is attained 4. Apply RF input power to desired level Turning the device OFF 1. Turn RF power off 2. Reduce VGS down to -5 V 3. Reduce VDS down to 0 V (Adequate time must be allowed for VDS to reduce to 0 V to prevent severe damage to device.) 4.
