Ampleon is a global semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Nijmegen (Gelderland), Netherlands and founded on December 7, 2015, spun off from the NXP Semiconductors in May 2015,[1][2] following the acquisition of the NXP Semiconductors RF Power business by the Jianguang Asset Management Co., Ltd. for US$1.8 billion.

Products

Ampleon offers various LDMOS Power Transistors, like the ART2K0TFES,[3] LDMOS Avionics Power Transistors,[4] meant to be used primarily in aviation,[5] as well as GaN-SiC HEMTs, with their newest model CLL3H0914L-700 delivering an output of over 700W at 50V.[6] Additionally, Ampleon began developing 5G mmWave chips for 5G base stations in 2018.[7][8] In 2021, Ampleon released two new wideband LDMOS amplifier series, the BLP15M9S and the BLP15H9S series. Both series of devices deliver 100W and 30W, with the 15MS line additionally delivering 70W and the 15HS line offering an additional 10W output mode.[9]

Locations

Ampleon has offices in France, Finland, South Korea, the US, the Netherlands, Sweden, Taiwan and China.[10] In 2016, they opened their own package-assembly-test factory in the Philippines, which runs on 100% renewable electricity.[11][12]
