Rugged VHF power RF MOSFET operates up to 165-V DC

Irvine, Calif.—Microsemi Corp. is sampling a super rugged VHF Power RF MOSFET for MRI, CO2 Lasers, RF Plasma generators as well as broadband linear amplifier applications.

Designated the ARF521, Microsemi's latest RF MOSFET uses a new patented process and finer geometry that operates reliably at up to 165 volts DC, delivering much higher peak power and RF gain than in previous high voltage parts. The ARF521 is a single die, in a rugged SOE package and is capable of 150 watts output power at up to 81 MHz.

Pricing: At quantities of 500 pieces, the unit price for the ARF521 is $44.05.
Availability: Samples are available now through the factory and authorized Microsemi-RF distributors.
