Description
The MAGX-000040-00500P is a GaN on SiC
unmatched power device offering the widest RF
frequency capability, most reliable high voltage
operation, lowest overall transistor size, cost and
weight in a “TRUE SMT”TM plastic package.
Use of an internal stress buffer technology allows
reliable operation at junction temperatures up to
200°C. The small package size and excellent RF
performance make it an ideal replacement for costly
flanged or metal-backed module components.

Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device.
MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits.
For saturated performance it is recommended that the sum of (3 * VDD + abs (VGG)) < 175 V.
Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ 200°C will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. Junction temperature
directly affects device MTTF and should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN)).
Typical CW thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 10.5°C/W.
Typical transient thermal resistance (ӨJC) = ӨJC = 4.0°C/W (1 ms pulse, 10% duty cycle).

L-Band Evaluation Board Details and Recommended Tuning Solutions
Parts measured on evaluation board (12-mil
thick RO4003C). Electrical and thermal ground
is provided using a copper-filled, via-hole array
(not pictured), and evaluation board is mounted
to a metal plate.
Matching is provided using lumped elements.
Recommended tuning solutions for 2 frequency
ranges are detailed in the parts list below.
Bias Sequencing
Turning the device ON
1. Set VG to the pinch-off value (VP),
typically -5 V.
2. Turn on VD to nominal voltage (50 V).
3. Increase VGS to desired quiescent current.
4. Apply RF power to desired level.
Turning the device OFF
1. Turn the RF power off.
2. Decrease VG down to VP.
3. Turn off VD.
4. Turn off VG.
