RF Power GaN Transistor
This 79 W asymmetrical Doherty RF power GaN transistor is designed for
cellular base station applications requiring wide instantaneous bandwidth
capability covering the frequency range of 1800 to 2200 MHz.
This part is characterized and performance is guaranteed for applications
operating in the 1800 to 2200 MHz band. There is no guarantee of performance
when this part is used in applications designed outside of these frequencies.

1. Functional operation above 225C has not been characterized and is not implied. Operation at T
MAX
(275C) reduces median time to failure
by an order of magnitude; operation beyond T
MAX
could cause permanent damage.
2. Refer to AN1955,
Thermal Measurement Methodology of RF Power Amplifiers.
Go to
http://www.nxp.com/RF
and search for AN1955.
3. R
JC
(FEA) must be used for purposes related to reliability and limitations on maximum junction temperature. MTTF may be estimated by
the expression MTTF (hours) = 10
[A + B/(T + 273)]
, where
T
is the junction temperature in degrees Celsius,
A
= –10.3 and
B
= 8260.

avg
is the average output power measured using an unclipped W--CDMA single--carrier input signal where
output PAR is compressed to 7.0 dB @ 0.01% probability on CCDF.
NOTE: Correct Biasing Sequence for GaN Depletion Mode Transistors
Turning the device ON
1. Set V
GS
to –5 V
2. Turn on V
DS
to nominal supply voltage (48 V)
3. Increase V
GS
until I
DS
current is attained
4. Apply RF input power to desired level
Turning the device OFF
1. Turn RF power off
2. Reduce V
GS
down to –5 V
3. Reduce V
DS
down to 0 V (Adequate time must be allowed
for V
DS
to reduce to 0 V to prevent severe damage to device.)
4. Turn off V
