The BLCU188XRS has unmatched input and output making it suitable for a wide variety of applications including FM and VHF TV broadcast, industrial, scientific and medical RF power generators. It is suitable for any RF power application in the 10 to 600MHz range.
The device also has a number of parameters that contribute to it offering excellent reliability characteristics for the end application. These include a higher BVDSS breakdown voltage, improved parasitic bipolar breakdown and an improved Class C operation due to a new ESD-diode structure that has a larger negative voltage range. Also, the device offers good stability and spurious behaviour at a VSWR > 90:1.
The BLCU188XRS is currently sampling with general availability due in Q3, 2016.
