PRELIMINARY CRF24010D 10 W SiC RF Power MESFET Die Cree’s CRF24010 is a silicon carbide (SiC) RF power Metal-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MESFET). SiC has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide, including higher breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity, and higher thermal conductivity. SiC MESFETs offer greater power density and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors. PN: CRF240 10D FEATURES APPLICATIONS • 15 dB Small Signal Gain • Wideband Military Communications • 10 W Minimum P1dB • Secure Comms for Homeland Defense • 48 V Operation • Class A, AB Amplifiers • High Breakdown Voltage • TDMA, EDGE, CDMA and W-CDMA • High Temperature Operation • Broadband Amplifiers • Up to 5 GHz Operation • MMDS • High Efficiency Packaging Information • Bare die are shipped in Gel-Pak® containers. • Non-adhesive tacky membrane immobilizes die during ly 2006 Rev 1.5 – Ju shipment.
