Description
The MAGX-000035-05000P is a GaN on SiC
unmatched power device offering the widest RF
frequency capability, most reliable high voltage
operation, lowest overall power transistor size, cost
and weight in a “TRUE SMT” plastic-packaging
technology.
Use of an internal stress buffer technology allows
reliable operation at junction temperatures up to
200°C. The small package size and excellent RF
performance make it an ideal replacement for costly
flanged or metal-backed module components.
