Product Description
The MAGX-002735-040L00 is a gold metalized matched Gallium
Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide RF power transistor optimized for
civilian and military radar pulsed applications between 2700 - 3500
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-002735-040L00 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
