Product Description
The MAGX-002731-100L00 is a gold metalized matched
Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide RF power transistor
optimized for civilian and military radar pulsed applications
between 2700 - 3100 MHz. Using state of the art wafer
fabrication processes, these high performance transistors
provide high gain, efficiency, bandwidth, ruggedness over a
wide bandwidth for today’s demanding application needs. The
MAGX-002731-100L00 is constructed using a thermally
enhanced Cu/Mo/Cu flanged ceramic package which provides
excellent thermal performance. High breakdown voltages allow
for reliable and stable operation in extreme mismatched load
conditions unparalleled with older semiconductor technologies.

(1) Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage.
(2) Channel temperature directly affects a device's MTTF. Channel temperature should be kept as low as
possible to maximize lifetime.
(3) For saturated performance it recommended that the sum of (3*Vdd + abs(Vgg)) <175
