General Description
The TriQuint T1G6000528-Q3 is a 7 W (P
3dB
) discrete
GaN on SiC HEMT which operates from DC to 6 GHz
and typically provides >10 dB gain at 6 GHz. The
device is constructed with TriQuint’s proven 0.25
µm production process, which features advanced
field plate techniques to optimize power and effi-
ciency 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.

Absolute maximum ratings at 3 GHz
Absolute maximum ratings are set based on industry recommended
standard mean time to failure (MTTF) greater than 1M hours while
operating at a maximum case temperature of 85C . Operating at lower
maximum case temperatures allows maximum operating voltage to
be increased up to a maximum of 40V. Application specific limits can
be determined with engineering guidance from TriQuint.
