AGR09090EF
90 W, 865 MHz—960 MHz, N-Channel E-Mode, Lateral MOSFET
Introduction
The
AGR09090EF is a high-voltage, gold-metalized, lat-
erally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) RF
power transistor suitable for global system for mobile com-
munication (GSM), enhanced data for global evolution
(EDGE), cellular, and multicarrier class AB power amplifier
applications. This device is manufactured on an advanced
LDMOS technology, offering state-of-the-art performance
and reliability. Packaged in an industry-standard package
and capable of delivering a minimum output power of 90 W,
it is ideally suited for today's wireless base station RF
power amplifier applications.

Table 2. Absolute Maximum Ratings*
(921 MHz—960 MHz, and 865 MHz—895 MHz)
* Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause
permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress rat-
ings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at
these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the
operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect
device reliability.
Table 3. ESD Rating*
(921 MHz—960 MHz, and 865 MHz—895 MHz)
* Although electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitry has
been designed into this device, proper precautions must be
taken to avoid exposure to ESD and electrical overstress (EOS)
during all handling, assembly, and test operations. Agere
employs a human-body model (HBM), a machine model (MM),
and a charged-device model (CDM) qualification requirement in
order to determine ESD-susceptibility limits and protection
design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the
circuit parameters used in each of the models, as defined by
JEDEC's JESD22-A114B (HBM), JESD22-A115A (MM), and
JESD22-C101A (CDM) standards.
Caution: MOS devices are susceptible to damage from elec-
trostatic charge. Reasonable precautions in han-
dling and packaging MOS devices should be
observed.
