CGH60015D 15 W, 6.0 GHz, GaN HEMT Die Cree’s CGH60015D is a gallium nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT). GaN has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide, including higher breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity, and higher thermal conductivity. GaN HEMTs offer greater power density and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors. PN: CGH6001 5D FEATURES APPLICATIONS • 15 dB Typical Small Signal Gain at 4 GHz • 2-Way Private Radio • 12 dB Typical Small Signal Gain at 6 GHz • Broadband Amplifiers • 15 W Typical PSAT • Cellular Infrastructure • 28 V Operation • Test Instrumentation • High Breakdown Voltage • Class A, AB, Linear amplifiers suitable • High Temperature Operation for OFDM, W-CDMA, EDGE, CDMA • Up to 6 GHz Operation waveforms • High Efficiency Packaging Information • • Bare die are shipped in Gel-Pak® containers.

All Gate and Drain pads must be wire bonded for electrical connection. Assembly Notes: • Recommended solder is AuSn (80/20) solder. Refer to Cree’s website for the Eutectic Die Bond Procedure application note at http://www.cree.com/products/wireless_documents.asp • • • • • • Vacuum collet is the preferred method of pick-up. The backside of the die is the Source (ground) contact. Die back side gold plating is 5 microns thick minimum. Thermosonic ball or wedge bonding are the preferred connection methods. Gold wire must be used for connections. Use the die label (XX-YY) for correct orientation. Copyright © 2006-2012 Cree, Inc. All rights reserved.
