BCP240T HIGH EFFICIENCY HETEROJUNCTION POWER FET CHIP (.25µm x 2400µm) The BeRex BCP240T is a GaAs Power pHEMT with a nominal 0.25 micron gate length and 2400 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 BCP240T is produced using state of the art metallization with SI3N4 passivation and is screened to assure reliability.
