Technical issue

What changed

Final Radio Power discontinuance notice lists full withdrawal, limited availability, sole-source classification, 2026-09-30 LTB and 2027-09-30 last delivery for selected representatives.

Established

Known facts

SOURCE_FACT: NXP's final notice states the Radio Power product line is being ramped down.
SOURCE_FACT: MRF101AN, MW6S010GNR1 and MMRF1009HR5 are listed with no replacement and a 2026-09-30 LTB.
SOURCE_FACT: MRF101AN is a 50 V wideband 1.8-250 MHz device; MW6S010GNR1 is a 28 V 450-1500 MHz 10 W class device; MMRF1009HR5 is a 50 V 960-1215 MHz 500 W pulse device.

What is not yet known

No reviewed evidence establishes a board drop-in successor for any selected device.
Application-specific matching networks, thermal margins and stability criteria are unknown.
The MRF101AN overview has shown an inconsistent Active label while package/quality and the discontinuance notice indicate EOL.

Current decision path

Treat the notice as a lifecycle trigger. Separate lifetime-buy analysis from engineering migration; any alternate device requires board-level RF and thermal qualification.

Counter-evidence

What weakens the case

Some NXP overview surfaces have retained an Active label for MRF101AN. The later dated discontinuance notice and package status are treated as stronger lifecycle evidence, while the conflict remains visible.
