Ordering Information Part Number Description MAGX-001090-600L00 600 W GaN Power Transistor (Production) MAGX-001090-SB0PPR 1.03 - 1.09 GHz Evaluation Board Military radar for IFF and Data Links. Description The MAGX-001090-600L00 is a gold metalized matched Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide (SiC) RF power transistor optimized for pulsed avionics and radar applications. Using state of the art wafer fabrication processes, these high performance transistors provide high gain, efficiency, bandwidth, and ruggedness over a wide bandwidth for today’s demanding application needs. High breakdown voltages allow for reliable and stable operation under more extreme mismatch load conditions compared with older semiconductor technologies. * Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, European Union Directive 2002/95/EC. 1 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
