General Description
The TriQuint TGF3020-SM is a 5W (P
3dB
), 50Ω-input
matched discrete GaN on SiC HEMT which operates
from 4.0 to 6.0 GHz. The integrated input matching
network enables wideband gain and power performance,
while the output can be matched on board to optimize
power and efficiency for any region within the band.
The device is housed in an industry-standard 3 x 3 mm
surface mount QFN package.
Lead-free and ROHS compliant
