Product specification
BLF378
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Class-AB operation
RF performance in CW operation in a common source class-AB circuit. Th = 25 °C; Rth mb-h = 0.15 K/W unless
otherwise specified. RGS = 2.8 Ω per section; optimum load impedance per section = 0.74 + j2 Ω (VDS = 50 V).

Note
1. Assuming a 3rd order amplitude transfer characteristic, 1 dB gain compression corresponds with 30% synchronized
input / 25% synchronized output compression in television service (negative modulation, CCIR system).
Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLF378 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresponding to VSWR = 7 : 1 through all phases under the
conditions: VDS = 50 V; f = 225 MHz at rated output power.
