AGR09070EF
70 W, 921 MHz—960 MHz, N-Channel E-Mode, Lateral MOSFET
Introduction
The AGR09070EF is a high-voltage, gold-metalized,
laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor
(LDMOS) RF power transistor suitable for global sys-
tem for mobile communication (GSM), enhanced
data for global evolution (EDGE), 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
70 W, it is ideally suited for today's wireless base
station RF power amplifier applications.

* 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

* 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.
