CMPA5585025F
25 W, 5.5 - 8.5 GHz, GaN MMIC, Power Amplifier
Cree’s CMPA5585025F is a gallium nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility
Transistor (HEMT) based monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC).
GaN has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide,
including higher breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity
and higher thermal conductivity. GaN HEMTs also offer greater power
density and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors. This
MMIC is available in a 10 lead metal/ceramic flanged package for optimal
electrical and thermal performance.
