RF POWER MOSFET CONSIDERATIONS
MOSFET CAPACITANCES The physical structure of a MOSFET results in capacitors between the terminals. The metal oxide gate structure determines the capacitors from gate-to-drain (Cgd), and gate-to- source (Cgs). The PN junction formed during the fabrication of the TMOS(R) FET results in a junction capacitance from drain-to-source (Cds). These capacitances are characterized as input (Ciss), output (Coss) and reverse transfer (Crss) capacitances on data sheets. The relationships between the interterminal capacitances and those given on data sheets are shown below. The Ciss can be specified in two ways: 1. Drain shorted to source and positive voltage at the gate. 2. Positive voltage of the drain in respect to source and zero volts at the gate. In the latter case the numbers are lower. However, neither method represents the actual operating conditions in RF applications. LINEARITY AND GAIN CHARACTERISTICS In addition to the typical IMD and power gain data presented, Figure 5 may give the designer additional information on the capabilities of this device. The graph represents the small signal unity current gain frequency at a given drain current level. This is equivalent to fT for bipolar transistors. Since this test is performed at a fast sweep speed, heating of the device does not occur. Thus, in normal use, the higher temperatures may degrade these characteristics to some extent. DRAIN CHARACTERISTICS One figure of merit for a FET is its static resistance in the full-on condition. This on-resistance, VDS(on), occurs in the linear region of the output characteristic and is specified under specific test conditions for gate-source voltage and drain current. For MOSFETs, VDS(on) has a positive temperature coefficient and constitutes an important design consideration at high temperatures, because it contributes to the power dissipation within the device. GATE CHARACTERISTICS The gate of the TMOS FET is a polysilicon material, and is electrically isolated from the source by a layer of oxide. The input resistance is very high -- on the order of 109 ohms -- resulting in a leakage current of a few nanoamperes. Gate control is achieved by applying a positive voltage slightly in excess of the gate-to-source threshold voltage, VGS(th).

Gate Voltage Rating -- Never exceed the gate voltage rating. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent damage to the oxide layer in the gate region. Gate Termination -- The gates of these devices are essentially capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the devices due to voltage build-up on the input capacitor due to leakage currents or pickup. Gate Protection -- These devices do not have an internal monolithic zener diode from gate-to-source. The addition of an internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required, an external zener diode is recommended. IMPEDANCE CHARACTERISTICS Device input and output impedances are normally obtained by measuring their conjugates in an optimized narrow band test circuit. These test circuits are designed and constructed for a number of frequency points depending on the frequency coverage of characterization. For low frequencies the circuits consist of standard LC matching networks including variable capacitors for peak tuning. At increasing power levels the output impedance decreases, resulting in higher RF currents in the matching network. This makes the practicality of output impedance measurements in the manner described questionable at power levels higher than 200-300 W for devices operated at 50 V and 150-200 W for devices operated at 28 V. The physical sizes and values required for the components to withstand the RF currents increase to a point where physical construction of the output matching network gets difficult if not impossible. For this reason the output impedances are not given for high power devices such as the MRF154 and MRF157. However, formulas like (VDS - Vsat)2 for a single ended design 2Pout 2((VDS - Vsat)2) for a push-pull design can be used to or Pout obtain reasonably close approximations to actual values.
MOUNTING OF HIGH POWER RF POWER TRANSISTORS The package of this device is designed for conduction cooling. It is extremely important to minimize the thermal resistance between the device flange and the heat dissipator. If a copper heatsink is not used, a copper head spreader is strongly recommended between the device mounting surfaces and the main heatsink. It should be at least 1/4 thick and extend at least one inch from the flange edges. A thin layer of thermal compound in all interfaces is, of course, essential. The recommended torque on the 4-40 mounting screws should be in the area of 4-5 lbs.-inch, and spring type lock washers along with flat washers are recommended. For die temperature calculations, the temperature from a corner mounting screw area to the bottom center of the flange is approximately 5C and 10C under normal operating conditions (dissipation 150 W and 300 W respectively). The main heat dissipator must be sufficiently large and have low R for moderate air velocity, unless liquid cooling is employed.
CIRCUIT CONSIDERATIONS At high power levels (500 W and up), the circuit layout becomes critical due to the low impedance levels and high RF currents associated with the output matching. Some of the components, such as capacitors and inductors must also withstand these currents. The component losses are directly proportional to the operating frequency. The manufacturers specifications on capacitor ratings should be consulted on these aspects prior to design. Push-pull circuits are less critical in general, since the ground referenced RF loops are practically eliminated, and the impedance levels are higher for a given power output. High power broadband transformers are also easier to design than comparable LC matching networks.
