LA FOX, IL — Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for new package options on an RF power LDMOS transistor from Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale).
The MRFE6VS25 is an RF power transistor designed for both narrowband and broadband industrial, scientific and medical (ISM), broadcast, and aerospace applications operating at frequencies from 1.8 to 2000 MHz. It is fabricated using Freescale’s enhanced ruggedness platform and is suitable for use in applications where high voltage standing wave ratios (VSWRs) are encountered.
Previously available only in Freescale's traditional plastic package (MRFE6VS25N), which provides performance at an attractive cost, the device is now available in the RF LDMOS industry standard ceramic package (MRFE6VS25L) and a plastic gull wing (MRFE6VS25GN) package. Benefits of the new gull wing package include reduced cost, improved consistency of RF performance, and improved assembly quality that allows for high volume pick-and-place manufacturing for this surface mount package.
The device is in stock and available for immediate delivery.
Trade reform will help both USA and China for better technology movement.
@All…TTP stands for Transfer of Technology which means heretofore, we had to virtually tell all and show all about a product or process before China would take a product to market. Now, with that restriction being lifted, we might be able to hold onto our IP a little bit longer.
I think there is a certain level of risk when some stuff like processors/controllers or even compiled software (with no original source code) are exported. The export restrictions may be lifted but companies may be still cautious and take necessary steps to prevent piracy to happen.
@t.alex…when you consider that semiconductor counterfeiters can reverse engineer an entire die in order to produce a clone, then protecting design rights from an IP standpoint is almost a moot point. If I can copy and mass produce an item, I don't even have to know how it works or the theory of operation in even general terms. If I copy the part, it is a simple matter to copy the spec sheets and logos.
You are right. Law enforcement on this in China has to to be really in place. Lots of simple electronic products are cloned so far. Die, eeprom content, PCB circuit design and many more.

Perhaps the OCM's need to start getting serious about using DNA marking as a counter measure to all the counterfeits. There seems to be a lot of push back against moving forward with that in spite of the proven technology (at least according to APDN and the DLA).
“For many years, software piracy and other intellectual property rights (IPR) have been major concerns for US software companies where there are more pirated copies than authorized and licensed versions in places like China and India”
Douglas, nothing going to ha happen with respect to piracy because it's a Chinese government sponsored program. Quiet sometime back, I had visited some of the government labs and universities in China; in most of the places they are using cracked/pirated versions of software. When I talked with one of the fellow he casually responded that “why should we purchase the original version for making such MNcs richer”
@Jacob…You are correct. IN fact that is why one of the Chinese “pledges” was to crack down on government agencies using pirated software. The Chinese government has truned a blind eye to this practice and admitting they plan to clean house, they are tacitly admitting they know how imminent the problem is in their own ranks. I think this is a wait and see scenario and I am watching for the announcements in China Daily. If I see of a crackdown or pirate bust I will post the news. I also am going to start reading the lesser known, more contraversial papers like the Southern Weekly now garnering much US press due to the protests response by the Chinese government. Interesting stuff. I hope before the US makes any agreement concessions we have a “trust, then verify” approach so the pledges and changes are not all one way.

I agree with you curbing the problem as well as other lapses in IT/High Tech Biometric solutions look like jewel to solve those issues. What about the cost of investing in technology like this?
NO!!!! It will only make it harder for CHINA to copy our parts/units/phones. As we all know trade only goes one way. (from CHINA)
I was wondering what the people in CHINA, KOREA and INDIA, that are assembling the TV's, phones and all the other various electronics think about not being able to afford to buy these wonderful devices? Or in CHINA, have no time to watch TV! (Work, eat, sleep.)
Douglas makes a good point. To date, IP enforcement in China has been posturing, and there's no reason to belive that will chnage. I read somehwere that it has to do with the idea that in a communist/socilast socirty, there is no private property–everything belongs to the state/population. If that is the case, this is a cultural, rather than legal, challenge for US and other nations.
Douglas, one thing is very evident from Chinese government ‘they speaks well and do something else’. I don’t know how they are going to treat US laws and treaties. But they had done similar thing with most of the Asian countries and always a defaulter in executing treaties and laws in correct sense.
Barbara, exactly and moreover they don’t want to change it also. But publically/officially they spoke well about the requirement of protecting IPs and copy rights.
