applications centered at 2.45GHz for application in
ISM/Broadcast/Plasma applications. This product
differentiates itself from other GaN power
transistors in that it runs well in CW. The matching
network is compact and small. The frequency of
operation covers DC - 2.5 GHz which captures
commercial as well as military applications. This
product is designed as a high power driver
amplifier or final stage depending on the
application. Using state of the art wafer fabrication
processes, these high performance transistors
provide high gain, efficiency, bandwidth and
ruggedness over a wide bandwidth for today’s
demanding application needs. The MAGX-000245
-014000 is constructed using a thermally
enhanced Cu/W flanged ceramic package which
provides excellent thermal performance.

2. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage.
3. Channel temperature directly affects a device's MTTF. Channel temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
4. For saturated performance it is recommended that the sum of (3*V
DD
