1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BLM9D1822S-60PBG is a dual section, 2-stage fully integrated Doherty MMIC
solution using Ampleon's state of the art GEN9 LDMOS technology. For each section, the
carrier and peaking device, input splitter and output combiner are integrated in a single
package. This multiband device is perfectly suited as general purpose driver or small cell
final in the frequency range from 1800 MHz to 2200 MHz. Available in gull wing outline.
Table 1.
Performance
Typical RF performance at Tcase = 25 C; IDq = 222 mA (carrier and peaking);
VGSq(peaking) = VGSq(carrier) 0.9 V. Test signal: 1-carrier LTE 20 MHz; measured in an Ampleon
f = 1960 MHz combined integrated Doherty application circuit.

Drawing Notes
Description
Items
Dimensions are excluding mold protrusion. Areas located adjacent to the leads have a maximum mold protrusion of 0.25
(1)
mm (per side) and 0.62 mm max. in length. In between the 14 leads the protrusion is 0.25 mm max. At all other areas the
mold protrusion is maximum 0.15 mm per side. See also detail B.
(2)
The metal protrusion (tie bars) in the corner will not stick out of the molding compound protrusions (detail A).
(3)
The lead dambar (metal) protrusions are not included. Add 0.14 mm max to the total lead dimension at the dambar location.
(4)
The hatched area indicated the exposed heatsink.
(5)
The leads and exposed heatsink are plated with matte Tin (Sn).
Dimension is measured with respect to the bottom of the heatsink Datum H. Positive value means that the bottom of the
(6)
heatsink is higher than the bottom of the lead.
