Product Description
Typical CW RF Performance
The MAGX-001220-100L00 is a gold metalized
Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide RF power
transistor suitable for a variety of RF power
amplifier applications. Using state of the art wafer
fabrication processes, these high performance
transistors provide high gain, efficiency, bandwidth,
ruggedness over multiple octave bandwidths for
today’s demanding application needs. The MAGX001220-100L00 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.
