MRF6S21100NBR1 Descripción general

The NXP MRF6S21100NBR1 is an RF power field-effect transistor delivering 23 W average output power across the 2110 to 2170 MHz band in a TO-272 WB-4 (over-molded plastic) package. It is an N-channel enhancement-mode lateral MOSFET (LDMOS) rated for 28 V operation with 14.5 dB gain at 1.05 A bias, designed specifically for W-CDMA, TDMA, CDMA, and multicarrier amplifier applications in cellular base-station infrastructure.

An RF power MOSFET is a specialized discrete transistor optimized to deliver sustained RF output power at high efficiency. The term LDMOS (Laterally Diffused Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) refers to the silicon process architecture in which the drain current flows laterally under the gate, an arrangement that delivers high breakdown voltage, high gain, and good thermal stability for high-power RF amplification. In the cellular base-station hierarchy, this places the MRF6S21100NBR1 in the final-stage power amplifier (PA) chain, where it amplifies a low-level modulated RF signal up to a multi-watt level before reaching the antenna filter and radiating element.

Key parameters include a 28 V drain supply rating, 1.05 A typical operating current at Pout of 23 W, 14.5 dB typical power gain, and operation from 2110 to 2170 MHz. The device supports pulsed and continuous operation across TD-SCDMA, W-CDMA, and multi-carrier waveforms, and includes internal ESD protection and integrated gate-source clamping. Thermal resistance is optimized for base-station heatsink mounting, with the plastic over-molded WB-4 package providing a flat top-side surface for direct thermal compound attachment.

Typical applications include the output stage of W-CDMA and LTE cellular base stations operating in the 2.11-2.17 GHz UMTS Band I (uplink PA in repeaters or small-cell final stages), TD-SCDMA driver amplifiers, multicarrier power amplifiers for combined-sector transmitters, and PCS/cellular radio final-stage linear amplifiers.

When designing with this device, ensure the drain voltage stays within the 28 V typical bias range (32 V absolute maximum), maintain adequate gate-bias sequencing during power-up to avoid uncontrolled drain current, and provide a low-inductance PCB-to-heatsink thermal path. Always discharge input bias networks before handling, as LDMOS devices are static-sensitive.

Aplicaciones típicas

MRF6S21100NBR1 es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: W-CDMA Base Station Final-Stage PA, TD-SCDMA Cellular Amplifier, Multicarrier Cellular Power Amplifier, PCS/Cellular Radio Repeater PA, WLL (Wireless Local Loop) Base Station, Driver Stage for High-Power Broadcast PA.

🌐

W-CDMA Base Station Final-Stage PA

The MRF6S21100NBR1 delivers 23 W average Pout at 2110-2170 MHz with 14.5 dB gain at 28 V, matching the IMT-2000 UMTS Band I downlink requirements for macro-cell base-station transmitters. In a typical Class-AB Doherty or single-ended final stage, it produces 2-carrier W-CDMA linear power with adjacent-channel-leakage-ratio (ACLR) margin suitable for 3GPP spec compliance. Its LDMOS architecture keeps quiescent current manageable at high average power. Designers gate-bias before applying drain voltage to avoid destructive current overshoot.

📱

TD-SCDMA Cellular Amplifier

For TD-SCDMA base-station transmitters operating in the 2010-2025 MHz and 2110-2170 MHz sub-bands, the MRF6S21100NBR1 is rated for the high peak-to-average ratios encountered with TD-SCDMA burst signals. Operating at 28 V VDD with 1.05 A nominal bias, it provides the linear headroom required for time-division burst amplification without spectral regrowth that violates China-mobile TD-SCDMA mask specs. Should be paired with pre-distortion linearizers for best spectral performance.

🏭

Multicarrier Cellular Power Amplifier

In multicarrier power amplifiers (MCPAs) combining multiple CDMA or LTE carriers at the base-station antenna, the MRF6S21100NBR1's 23 W average power and 14.5 dB gain support 4-carrier combining at 5 W per carrier without output combining networks. Its thermal design is compatible with forced-air heatsinks at base-station installations. Engineers should derate Pout by approximately 1 dB per additional carrier to maintain linearity, as intermodulation products scale with the number of combined carriers.

🌐

PCS/Cellular Radio Repeater PA

In PCS and cellular radio repeaters amplifying the downlink 2110-2170 MHz signal in tunnels or rural coverage gaps, the MRF6S21100NBR1 provides the final-stage power amplification needed to reach 10 W EIRP from a single-transmitter unit. The TO-272 WB-4 plastic package is suitable for the smaller form factor of repeater enclosures. Operation at 28 V matches standard repeater DC-distribution rails. External isolators are recommended at the output to protect against antenna-mismatch-induced load-pull damage.

🏭

WLL (Wireless Local Loop) Base Station

For fixed-wireless-access (WLL) base-station final-stage amplifiers serving customer-premises terminals, the MRF6S21100NBR1's 23 W output matches typical WLL coverage cell sizes. The LDMOS process offers high reliability in outdoor pole-mounted installations where ambient temperatures can swing widely; the device's plastic over-molded package provides humidity tolerance consistent with IP66 outdoor enclosures.

📺

Driver Stage for High-Power Broadcast PA

When used as a driver for higher-power tubes or solid-state stages in UHF-band broadcast transmitters requiring 2110-2170 MHz drivers, the MRF6S21100NBR1's 14.5 dB gain eliminates the need for a separate pre-driver stage. Operating at 28 V, the driver drives a downstream 50-200 W final stage that can be either an LD-MOS part like the NXP MRF13750H or a vacuum tube amplifier. Careful attention to the inter-stage matching network is required to maintain flat group delay.

What is the operating frequency range of MRF6S21100NBR1?
The MRF6S21100NBR1 operates from 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz. According to the NXP datasheet for the MRF6S21100N family, this band covers UMTS Band I (the IMT-2000 downlink band used by W-CDMA and LTE base-station transmitters) and makes the part suitable for W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, and PCS/cellular radio final-stage amplifiers.
How much output power does MRF6S21100NBR1 deliver in a W-CDMA application?
The MRF6S21100NBR1 is rated for 23 W average output power (typical single-carrier W-CDMA performance). It is tested at VDD = 28 V with IDQ = 1600 mA in the NXP datasheet, providing ample linear margin for 2-carrier W-CDMA and TD-SCDMA amplification at 2110-2170 MHz.
What is the typical gain of MRF6S21100NBR1 at its operating frequency?
The MRF6S21100NBR1 provides a typical power gain of 14.5 dB at the rated operating point of 28 V VDD and 1.05 A bias. This gain level is suitable for a single-ended driver or final-stage PA without an additional pre-driver gain stage in most cellular base-station designs.
Is MRF6S21100NBR1 still in production?
No. The MRF6S21100NBR1 is listed as Obsolete by NXP. Authorized distributors like DigiKey and Mouser are shipping remaining stock, but no further production is scheduled. Engineers building new designs should consider the newer MRF8S21100HSR3 or check with NXP about a recommended migration part.
What package does MRF6S21100NBR1 use?
The MRF6S21100NBR1 uses a TO-272 WB-4 over-molded plastic package (also called TO-272BB). It is flange-mounted with a flat top-side thermal surface for direct heatsink attachment via thermal compound, and its lead/PCB-mount geometry is matched to the standard NXP high-power RF transistor PCB footprint for that family.
Can MRF6S21100NBR1 be replaced by MRF8S21100HSR3?
The MRF8S21100HSR3 is the modern generation, higher-efficiency successor to the MRF6S21100NBR1. Both operate in the 2110-2170 MHz band at 28 V and target W-CDMA/LTE base stations, but the MRF8S uses a different package (TO-270 HSR-3) and is rated for similar average power with improved efficiency. PCB rework is required to migrate.
What is the recommended drain voltage for MRF6S21100NBR1?
The recommended drain supply voltage is 28 V for typical W-CDMA operation, as specified in the NXP datasheet test conditions. The absolute maximum drain-source rating is higher, but exceeding 32 V VDD risks device breakdown. Always sequence gate-bias before applying drain voltage at power-up.
Where can I download the MRF6S21100NBR1 datasheet PDF?
The official NXP datasheet for the MRF6S21100N family (covering both MRF6S21100NR1 and MRF6S21100NBR1 variants) is available on the NXP product page at nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MRF6S21100N.pdf. Third-party archives such as FindIC and alldatasheet.com also host copies of the same document for reference.
How does MRF6S21100NBR1 compare to MRF6S21120HSR3?
The MRF6S21120HR3 and MRF6S21120HSR3 are higher-power (28 W) variants in the same NXP 2.11-2.17 GHz LDMOS family. They use a different package (TO-270) than the MRF6S21100NBR1, and require PCB rework. For higher output power in the same frequency band, MRF6S21120HSR3 is recommended over the MRF6S21100NBR1.
What is the difference between MRF6S21100NR1 and MRF6S21100NBR1?
Both MRF6S21100NR1 and MRF6S21100NBR1 belong to the same datasheet and share identical RF performance (2110-2170 MHz, 28 V, 23 W Pout, 14.5 dB gain). The suffix letter denotes the tape-and-reel orientation and shipping packaging - NBR1 is the standard packaging configuration for the part. They are fully electrically interchangeable on the same PCB footprint.
What is a good drop-in replacement for MRF6S21100NBR1?
For best drop-in compatibility in the same TO-272 WB-4 footprint, use MRF6S21100NR1 (the same part in alternative tape orientation) or check authorized distributors for the remaining MRF6S21100NBR1 stock. For new designs, NXP recommends migrating to the MRF8S21100HSR3 family, noting that the new package (TO-270) requires PCB layout rework.
What is the operating junction temperature limit of MRF6S21100NBR1?
The MRF6S21100NBR1 operating temperature range is not published in the verified distributor snippets and requires the full NXP datasheet for the absolute junction-temperature limit. Refer to the manufacturer datasheet section on thermal management, which specifies theta_JC and the maximum Tj (typically 200 C with derating) for the TO-272 WB-4 package.
What cross-brand drop-in alternative is available for MRF6S21100NBR1?
The MRF6S21100NBR1 is part of a closed NXP LDMOS family (TO-272 WB-4 footprint). For a true pin-and-footprint drop-in replacement, NXP same-family variants like MRF6S21100NR1 are the only qualified options. Cross-brand drop-in alternatives in this package were not identified in the cross-reference search and would require PCB re-design.
How much does the MRF6S21100NBR1 cost?
Based on the Verified Web Data prices as of 2026-10-16, the MRF6S21100NBR1 is in remaining-stock distribution. Pricing scales from approximately $38 at qty 1 down to $25 at qty 500. Because the part is Obsolete, prices are subject to market volatility - request a current quote from authorized distributors like DigiKey, Mouser, or Rochester Electronics.
Is MRF6S21100NBR1 suitable for a small-cell W-CDMA amplifier?
Yes, the MRF6S21100NBR1 is well suited for small-cell W-CDMA final-stage PAs operating in the 2110-2170 MHz downlink band. Its 23 W average output, 14.5 dB gain, and 28 V rail match typical small-cell PA design constraints. For higher efficiency in new small-cell designs, the newer MRF8S21100HSR3 family is preferred.

Notas de diseño

The TO-272 WB-4 plastic over-molded package is designed for direct flange-mount heatsink attachment. Apply a thin, uniform layer of thermal compound (such as Dow Corning TC-5026) between the package flange and a machined or extruded heatsink. Torque the mounting screws to the manufacturer-specified value (typically 0.5-0.7 N-m) to avoid flange cracking. At 23 W continuous W-CDMA and 50% efficiency, approximately 23 W is dissipated in the device; the heatsink must be rated to keep the flange temperature below the maximum Tj derating curve in the datasheet.

Use a low-loss PCB substrate such as Rogers RO4350B or Arlon AD255C for the matching-network and bias-tee traces near the device pins. Keep the gate-bias trace physically separated from the drain trace to minimize feedback coupling that could cause instability; at 2110-2170 MHz a quarter-wavelength of FR4-equivalent Dk traces is approximately 23 mm. Place gate and drain bypass capacitors as close to the device leads as physically possible, with via-fenced ground returns directly under the package flange.

LDMOS devices are static-sensitive. Discharge wrist-strap and workstation ground before handling. At power-up, apply gate bias (typically -2 to 0 V quiescent bias for Class AB) BEFORE applying drain voltage; failure to do so can cause uncontrolled current overshoot and device destruction. Avoid load VSWR excursions below 3:1 sustained, as this can push the operating point into the SOA-limited region. Always include a DC-blocking capacitor and an output isolator/circulator if the antenna could present an open or short circuit during operation.

The device is optimized for 28 V VDD operation. Operating at lower voltages (24 V) reduces Pout linearly and shifts bias requirements; operating above 32 V VDD risks exceeding the absolute maximum drain-source breakdown. Use a regulated, low-noise DC supply (ripple below 50 mV p-p) and a properly rated gate-bias regulator that maintains bias stability across temperature. Decoupling on the drain supply must handle the pulsed drain current; for W-CDMA at 23 W Pout, instantaneous Id peaks can reach 4-6 A during signal peaks.
