BEREX BCP120T

BCP120T
HIGH EFFICIENCY HETEROJUNCTION POWER FET CHIP (.25µm x 1200µm)
The BeRex BCP120T is a GaAs Power pHEMT with a nominal 0.25 micron gate length and 1200 micron gate width
making the product ideally suited for applications where high-gain and medium power in the 1000 MHz to 26.5
GHz frequency range are required. The product may be used in either wideband (6-18 GHz) or narrow-band
applications. The BCP120T is produced using state of the art metallization with SI 3N4 passivation and is screened to
assure reliability.
