5G RADIOS SHRINK WITH NXP’S NEW TOP-SIDE COOLING FOR RF POWER

New top-side cooling packaging technology for RF power enables smaller, thinner and lighter radio units, supporting faster and easier deployment of 5G base stations.

5G RADIOS SHRINK WITH NXP’S NEW TOP-SIDE COOLING FOR RF POWER

NXP Semiconductors announced a family of top-side cooled RF amplifier modules, based on a packaging innovation designed to enable thinner and lighter radios for 5G infrastructure. These smaller base stations can be more easily and cost-effectively installed, and blend more discretely into their environment. NXP’s GaN multi-chip module series, combined with the industry’s first top-side cooling solution for RF power, helps to reduce not only the thickness and weight of the radio by more than 20 percent, but also the carbon footprint for the manufacture and deployment of 5G base stations.

NXP’s new top-side cooled devices deliver significant design and manufacturing benefits, including the removal of the dedicated RF shield, the use of a cost-effective and streamlined printed circuit board, and the separation of thermal management from RF design. These features help networking solution providers create slimmer and lighter 5G radios for mobile network operators, while reducing their overall design cycle.

NXP’s first top-side cooled RF power module series is designed for 32T32R, 200 W radios covering 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz. The devices combine the company’s in-house LDMOS and GaN semiconductor technologies to enable high gain and efficiency with wideband performance, delivering 31 dB gain and 46 percent efficiency over 400 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth.

The A5M34TG140-TC, A5M35TG140-TC and A5M36TG140-TC products are now available. The A5M36TG140-TC will be supported by NXP’s RapidRF reference board series.
