Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) introduces a groundbreaking development in radio-frequency (RF) technology with the release of its RD06LUS2, a 6.5W silicon high-power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). This innovation aims to enhance the performance of commercial handheld two-way radios by achieving an industry-leading 6.5W output power from a 3.6V single-cell lithium-ion battery.*
With the growing prevalence of 3.6V lithium-ion batteries in smartphones, the commercial radio industry faces a demand for higher power products using cost-effective batteries. The RD06LUS2 addresses this challenge by delivering unmatched power output and high drain efficiency for commercial radios operating at 3.6V. The innovation not only extends the range of radios but also reduces power consumption, offering a significant advancement for the industry.
Mitsubishi Electric’s RD06LUS2 sets itself apart by enabling commercial radio manufacturers to utilize 3.6V batteries without compromising output power. The MOSFET, designed to meet the specific needs of commercial radios, opens up possibilities for higher-powered products, contributing to the evolution of the industry.
Furthermore, the RD06LUS2 comes in a package containing two MOSFET chips, optimizing space on printed circuit boards and lowering assembly costs for commercial radios. This dual-chip configuration aligns with the industry’s pursuit of compact and cost-effective solutions.
As Mitsubishi Electric ships samples of the RD06LUS2 starting February 28, the industry anticipates a transformative shift in commercial handheld two-way radios, offering extended range, reduced power consumption, and enhanced efficiency.
