250W LDMOS for solid-state cooking and 2.45GHz ISM applications

Author: EIS Release Date: Nov 17, 2020

mpleon has announced a 250W RF power transistor for solid-state cooking and ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) applications in the 2.4 to 2.5GHz frequency band.

 

Ampleon-BLP2425M10S250P

 

Called BLP2425M10S250P, it is made on the company’s tenth-generation LDMOS process and operates with 67% drain efficiency.

 

Described as “cost-optimised” by Ampleon, it swaps the traditional ceramic package for plastic to better compete with traditional 2.45GHz magnetrons. “The ability to accurately adjust output power and frequency make solid-state RF amplifiers particularly suitable for industrial applications such as plasma generation, and for the emerging solid-state cooking market,” it said, claiming longer life compared with magnetrons, and easier implementation of closed-loop control with LDMOS RF power technology.
