Philips Semiconductors Product Specification
VHF push-pull power MOS transistor BLF278
Class-AB operation
RF performance in CW operation in a common source push-pull test circuit. T

= 0.15 K/W unless
otherwise specified. R

= 2.8 Ω per section; optimum load impedance per section = 0.74 + j2 Ω; (V
DS
= 50 V).
Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLF278 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresponding to VSWR = 7:1 through all phases under the
following conditions: V
DS
= 50 V; f = 225 MHz at rated output power.
