Product Description
The TGF2961-SD is a high performance 1-watt
Heterojunction GaAs Field Effect Transistor
(HFET) housed in a low cost SOT89 surface
mount package.
The device’s ideal operating point is at a drain bias
of 8 V and 200 mA. At this bias at 900 MHz when
matched into 50 ohms using external components,
this device is capable of 18 dB of gain, 30 dBm of
saturated output power, and 44 dBm of output IP3
Evaluation boards at 900 MHz, 1900 MHz and
2100 MHz available on request.
RoHS and Lead-Free compliant

These ratings represent the maximum operable values for this device. Stresses beyond those listed
under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device and / or affect
device lifetime. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
conditions is not implied.
Combinations of supply voltage, supply current, input power, and output power shall not exceed the
maximum power dissipation listed in Table IV.
