Packages

Packaging plays a critical role in RF power transistors, influencing both their cost-efficiency and performance. Because peak power levels can vary significantly - from as low as 5 W to over 1 kW - a variety of packaging options is required to accommodate diverse applications. The choice of package format, such as air-cavity or overmolded plastic, typically depends on design requirements and the trade-offs between performance and cost.

Air-Cavity Ceramic (ACC) packages

The traditional package for RF power transistors is the ACC with a ceramic lid. The package is made of three main parts: flange, ringframe and lid.

Air-Cavity Plastic (ACP) packages

The structure of ACP is similar to ACC but the lid and ringframe are glued and are made of a polymer instead of ceramic.

Overmolded Plastic (OMP) packages

OMP is a lead frame based plastic package having leads protruding from the side portion of the package and a bottom metal flange for high-power thermal dissipation.
