Ampleon has announced a rugged high-power transistor for broadcast across 88 – 108MHz for FM radio applications. The device, called BLF189XRA, can deliver 1,600W CW (continuous wave transmission) from a standard 50V power rail and can operate at >82% power efficiency. “Being capable of delivering such power levels from a single SOT539 package reduces the ...
