Advanced Power Technology (APT), has developed a new RF MOSFET optimized for high power Class C, D, and E operation from 1-120 MHZ

Bend, OR . . . . Advanced Power Technology (APT), has developed a new RF MOSFET optimized for high power Class C, D, and E operation from 1-120 MHZ.

The ARF450 is a matched pair of RF power MOSFETs in a common source configuration. It is designed for push-pull or parallel operation in scientific, commercial, medical and industrial RF power amplifier applications up to 120 MHz. With a rated power dissipation of 650 W and capable of operating from 150 Volts, the device is uniquely suited for high frequency RF power generators. The higher operating impedance makes matching and power combining easier and lowers the total system cost. Linear operation is also possible at lower operating voltages. Evaluation quantities are available now, full production 2Q00.

With operations in Bend, Oregon and Bordeaux, France, APT is a leading supplier of high voltage, high current MOSFETs, IGBTs, Ultra Fast Recovery Diodes, and Application Specific Power Modules (ASPM) for RF and Switchmode applications.
