Internally Matched 500 W Power Transistor
Provides High Gain, Efficiency and Ruggedness over 960-1215 MHz
Bandwidth
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier
of high-performance analog RF, microwave and optical semiconductor
products, today announced the new MAGX-000912-650L00 and
MAGX-000912-650L0S, a 650 W gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon
carbide (SiC) HEMT pulsed power transistor for L-band pulsed
avionics applications. This transistor is available in standard
flange or earless flange packaging.
The MAGX-000912-650L00/MAGX-000912-650L0S is a gold metalized,
internally matched, GaN on SiC depletion mode RF power transistor.
Operating in the 960 to 1215 MHz frequency range, the
MAGX-000912-650L0x is a rugged and robust transistor, boasting a
mean time to failure (MTTF) of 600 years.
The internally matched MAGX-000912-650L0x features 650 W of peak
output power with 20 dB typical gain and 62% drain efficiency. The
semiconductor structure is designed to achieve a high drain
breakdown voltage (BVdss), which enables reliable and stable
operation at 50V in extreme mismatched load conditions unparalleled
with older semiconductor technologies. Other features include flat
gain versus frequency performance and a common-source configuration
for broadband class AB operation.
The MAGX-000912-650L0x was developed using state of the art
wafer fabrication processes, and provides customers with high gain,
efficiency, bandwidth and ruggedness to meet today’s demanding
application needs. This transistor is optimized for civilian and
military pulsed avionics amplifier applications in the 960 to 1215
MHz range, for Mode-S, TCAS, JTIDS, DME and TACAN operation.
“The transistor is a clear leader in high pulsed power GaN
technology with 650 W of output power combined with excellent gain,
efficiency and rugged performance,” said Gary Lopes, Senior Product
Director, MACOM. “The device is an ideal candidate for customers
looking to upgrade L-Band avionics systems to the next level of
pulsed power performance and experience the solid reliability that
is offered by MACOM GaN solutions.”
The MAGX-000912-650L0x is RoHS Compliant and 260°C reflow
compatible.
