BCP240C HIGH EFFICIENCY HETEROJUNCTION POWER FET CHIP (.25µm x 2400µm) The BeRex BCP240C is a GaAs Power pHEMT with a nominal 0.25-micron by 2400-micron gate making this product ideally suited for applications where high-gain and medium power in the DC to 26.5 GHz frequency range are required. The product may be used in either wideband (6-18 GHz) or narrow-band applications. The BCP240C is produced using state of the art metallization with SI3N4 passivation and is screened to assure reliability. PRODUCT FEATURES • • • 33 dBm Typical Output Power 9 dB Typical Gain @ 12 GHz 0.25 X 2400 Micron Recessed Gate APPLICATIONS • • • Commercial Military / Hi-Rel.
