Richardson RFPD Introduces Highly Efficient, 55W GaN
RF Power Transistor from TriQuint Semiconductor
- Freescale™ Semiconductor’s New MRFE6VP8600H and MRFE6VP8600HS
October 11, 2011 – LaFox, Illinois: Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate availability and full design
support capabilities for a new 28-volt, 55 Watt, GaN on SiC HEMT, RF power transistor from TriQuint Semiconductor.
The
T1G4005528-FS provides 55W RF output power (P3dB), with greater than 15 dB of linear gain, and better than 50%
drain efficiency at 3.5 GHz. The
T1G4005528-FS is ideal for narrowband and wideband applications, offering exceptional performance from DC to
3.5 GHz. The
T1G4005528-FS is available in an industry standard, flangeless ceramic package. Power, gain, and efficiency
can be optimized for a particular application with simple matching networks external to the device. Applications
for the
T1G4005528-FS include military and civilian radar, commercial/military radio communications systems, test
instrumentation, avionics, plus high-performance wideband or narrowband RF power amplifiers.
Key features
of the
T1G4005528-FS operating @ 3.5 GHz include:
Linear Gain: > 15 dB
Output Power (P3dB): 55W
Drain Efficiency: >50%
Thermal Resistance, junction to case, ΘJC = 2.1 °C/W
Typical Bias: 28V
drain supply, 200mA drain quiescent current, -3.5V gate supply
Package Size: 9.7mm x 5.8mm x 3.5mm
(industry standard; flangeless)
RoHS Compliant
The device is constructed with TriQuint’s proven 0.25µm GaN on SiC HEMT production process, which features
advanced field plate techniques to optimize both power and efficiency at high drain bias operating conditions.
This optimization can lower overall system cost in terms of fewer amplifiers required in the line-up (for a given
output power level) and lower thermal management costs.
The
T1G4005528-FS and its datasheet are available now. To find more information, or to purchase this product today
on the Richardson RFPD website,
please visit the T1G4005528-FS product webpage. To enable a more rapid design process, and to improve chance
of success at first prototype, please consider the evaluation board (T1G4005528FEVB1)
that has been designed for use with the transistor. The RF power device and the evaluation board are also
available by calling 1-800-737-6937 (within North America); or please find your local sales engineer (worldwide)
at
