Product Description
The MAGX-002731-180L00 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-002731-180L00 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
