MHL9236N 概要

The Freescale/NXP MHL9236N is a cellular-band RF linear LDMOS amplifier rated for 800–960 MHz operation, 2.5 W output power, and 30.5 dB power gain, packaged in a TO-272 WB-16 ceramic/plastic over-molded module. The device is specified for 26 V supply operation and delivers outstanding linearity for CDMA, cellular TDMA, and similar ultra-linear amplifier applications in 50 ohm systems.

An RF linear LDMOS amplifier is a power transistor amplifier designed to faithfully reproduce complex modulated waveforms (such as CDMA/WCDMA OFDM carriers) with minimal spectral regrowth and distortion. LDMOS (Laterally Diffused Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) is the dominant technology for cellular base-station power amplifiers because it combines high RF power density, high gain, and excellent ruggedness at relatively low cost. Within the RF power amplifier hierarchy, the MHL9236N sits between small-signal driver amplifiers and high-power (40 W+) macro-cell PAs, occupying the pico-cell / driver stage tier.

Key performance features include 30.5 dB typical power gain, 2.5 W linear output power in the 800–960 MHz cellular band, and a 26 V nominal drain supply. Internally matched for 50 ohm input and output, the part reduces external matching networks to a minimum and simplifies board integration. A silicon FET Class A bias topology provides very good linearity for digital modulation formats. The TO-272 WB-16 package offers excellent thermal performance for the 2.5 W power level while remaining compact enough for driver-stage layouts.

Typical applications include driver stages for cellular base-station power amplifiers, CDMA/TDMA repeaters, 900 MHz ISM-band linear power blocks, and general-purpose 800–960 MHz RF amplification where linearity is more critical than peak efficiency. The wide band also makes the MHL9236N attractive for driver duties in multi-standard BTS designs covering GSM/EDGE/UMTS front ends.

When designing with the MHL9236N, observe the 26 V supply rating and provide adequate heatsinking to keep the junction temperature below the datasheet-specified maximum. Input and output 50 ohm terminations must be preserved on the PCB to retain linearity - mismatch will degrade ACPR and EVM performance.

Cellular Base-Station Driver Stage

The MHL9236N's 30.5 dB gain and 2.5 W linear output make it an ideal driver for macro/pico-cell base-station PA cascades. Positioned between a small-signal gain block and the final high-power LDMOS stage, it provides the linear boost needed to maintain ACPR/EVM compliance for CDMA and TDMA carriers while its 50 ohm matching reduces inter-stage network complexity on the PCB.

📱

CDMA/TDMA Linear Power Amplifier

Designed specifically for ultra-linear amplification of digitally modulated carriers, the MHL9236N delivers the spectral purity required for CDMA and cellular TDMA links. Its Class A silicon FET bias ensures minimal intermodulation distortion across the 800–960 MHz band, allowing cellular repeaters and remote radio heads to meet strict spectral mask requirements without external linearization.

🧩

900 MHz ISM Band Linear Amplifier

Within the 902–928 MHz ISM band, the MHL9236N provides 2.5 W of linear transmit power for industrial, scientific, and medical RF systems.

The MHL9236N operates from 800 MHz to 960 MHz, covering the cellular and 900 MHz ISM bands. According to the NXP/Freescale datasheet, the part is designed and characterized for ultra-linear amplification in this range, making it suitable for CDMA and TDMA base-station driver stages.
How much output power does the MHL9236N deliver?
The MHL9236N delivers 2.5 W of linear output power at 30.5 dB gain in the 800–960 MHz band. According to the manufacturer datasheet, this rating assumes a 26 V drain supply and 50 ohm source/load terminations under linear modulation conditions such as CDMA.
What is the supply voltage requirement for the MHL9236N?
The MHL9236N is designed for a nominal 26 V drain supply, with maximum supply current of 620 mA per the manufacturer datasheet. A well-regulated 26 V rail is required to maintain the rated linearity and gain across the cellular band; ripple on this rail will appear as AM modulation on the output RF envelope.
Is the MHL9236N internally matched to 50 ohms?
Yes. The MHL9236N is internally matched to 50 ohm at both input and output, which simplifies PCB integration. The NXP datasheet specifies a maximum operating VSWR of 1.5; mismatched loads will degrade ACPR, EVM, and may compromise device ruggedness.
What class of operation does the MHL9236N use?
The MHL9236N uses a silicon FET Class A bias topology, optimized for ultra-linear amplification. Class A bias delivers the most linear transfer curve at the cost of efficiency, which is why the MHL9236N is typically deployed as a driver or low-power linear stage rather than a final high-power PA.
What package does the MHL9236N ship in?
The MHL9236N ships in a TO-272 WB-16 ceramic/plastic over-molded module. This package provides low thermal resistance and a robust lead frame suitable for surface-mount or flange-mount assembly in cellular RF front ends.
What is the difference between the MHL9236N and the MHL9236?
The MHL9236N and the MHL9236 share the same 800–960 MHz cellular band and 2.5 W / 30.5 dB core specification, but the MHL9236N is the production / orderable part number with the full datasheet characterization, while the legacy MHL9236 datasheet (Motorola-era, 4 pages) describes the earlier revision with the same electrical envelope.
Can the MHL9236N replace the older MHL9236 in an existing design?
Yes, the MHL9236N is a drop-in replacement for the legacy MHL9236 in most 800–960 MHz linear amplifier designs. Both share the same TO-272 WB-16 footprint, the same 26 V drain supply, and the same electrical operating envelope, allowing PCB reuse without board rework.
Is there a same-package drop-in alternative to the MHL9236N from NXP/Freescale?
Yes. The MRF284 and MRF284L are Freescale/NXP RF LDMOS devices in the same TO-272 family covering adjacent frequency bands and power levels. Both share similar lead frames with the MHL9236N, though designers should verify pin-for-pin compatibility against each device's datasheet before substituting.
What is the price of the MHL9236N as of 2026-10-15?
The MHL9236N lists at approximately $38.50 in single-piece quantity, scaling down to about $23.95 at 1000 pieces as of 2026-10-15 per distributor data. Stock is generally limited because the part is approaching end-of-life; lead times vary by distributor and may extend under shortage conditions.

The MHL9236N is in NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) status as of 2026-10-15, having been superseded by newer NXP/Freescale RF driver devices. Existing designs may continue sourcing the part through remaining distributor inventory and authorized aftermarket channels, but new designs should evaluate current-generation alternatives.
How should the MHL9236N be heatsunk in a driver-stage design?
The MHL9236N TO-272 WB-16 package requires mounting to a copper-clad PCB pad or small heatsink to maintain junction temperature within the datasheet limit. At 2.5 W Pout and 26 V supply, the device dissipates several watts internally; a minimum 1 square inch of 2 oz copper beneath the package is recommended, with thermally-conductive epoxy for any dielectric interface.
Does the MHL9236N support WCDMA or LTE modulation?
The MHL9236N is characterized for CDMA and cellular TDMA modulation. According to the manufacturer datasheet, its linearity is sufficient for many linear OFDM-style waveforms, but designers targeting WCDMA or LTE should verify ACPR and EVM in their specific circuit before committing the part to production.

主な差別化要因

  • Class A bias for ultra-linear CDMA/TDMA amplification (vs MRF284)
  • Higher gain for fewer driver stages (vs MRF284)
  • Compact 2.5 W power level in TO-272 WB-16 (vs MRF6S9060MR)

設計ノート

Estimated: at 26 V drain and the 620 mA maximum supply current published in the datasheet, worst-case DC dissipation approaches 16 W with a fully-on bias point. In normal linear operation at 2.5 W Pout, RF dissipation typically lands around 6–8 W. The TO-272 WB-16 package requires at least 1 square inch of 2 oz copper (or a small bolted heatsink) to keep the junction within the datasheet-specified limit; without adequate heatsinking, output power will derate and the device may enter thermal shutdown.

Preserve the 50 ohm input and output transmission lines on the PCB to retain the datasheet performance - any extra matching components between the part and the connectors should be avoided. Use a continuous ground plane on layer 2 with abundant thermal vias stitching the TO-272 pad to ground; this both reduces lead inductance and improves thermal spreading.

Do not operate the MHL9236N below 24 V or above 28 V on the drain - undervoltage collapses linearity, while overvoltage risks SOA excursion. Ensure gate bias is sequenced on before drain, and off after drain, to avoid deep-pin-off breakdown. VSWR must remain below 1.5 in operation; higher mismatch can permanently damage the LDMOS die.
