General Description
The TriQuint T2G4005528-FS is a 55 W (P
3dB
) discrete
GaN on SiC HEMT which operates from DC to 3.5 GHz.
The device is constructed with TriQuint’s proven
TQGaN25 production process, which features advanced
field plate techniques to optimize power and efficiency at
high drain bias operating conditions. This optimization
can potentially lower system costs in terms of fewer
amplifier line-ups and lower thermal management costs.
Lead-free and ROHS compliant
Evaluation boards are available upon request.

Load Pull Smith Charts
(1, 2)
RF performance that the device typically exhibits when placed in the specified impedance environment. The impedances are not
the impedances of the device, they are the impedances presented to the device via an RF circuit or load-pull system. The
impedances listed follow an optimized trajectory to maintain high power and high efficiency.
