General Description
The TriQuint TGF3021-SM is a 30 W (P
3dB
) discrete GaN
on SiC HEMT which operates from 0.03 to 4.0 GHz. The
device is constructed with TriQuint’s proven TQGaN25
process, which features advanced field plate techniques
to optimize power and efficiency at high drain bias
operating conditions. This optimization can potentially
lower system costs in terms of fewer amplifier line-ups
and lower thermal management costs.
The device is housed in an industry-standard 3 x 4 mm
surface mount QFN package.
Lead-free and ROHS compliant
Evaluation boards are available upon request.
