[Via Satellite 10-09-13] MACOM Technology Solutions announced a new GaN unmatched wideband transistor in SOT-89 package suited to 50 V operation in driver and power applications. Operating over the DC – 4.0 GHz frequency bandwidth, the MAGX-000040-00500P is packaged in a lightweight 2.5mm by 4.5mm SOT-89 plastic surface-mount package that allows for simple implementation and assembly. The transistor delivers reliable operation at junction temperature of 158 degrees Celcius in CW mode with the device being rated to a maximum junction temperature of 200 degrees Celsius.

“RF and Microwave designers are continuously challenged to improve Size, Weight and Performance (SWaP) of radar and communication systems,” said Paul Beasly, product manager, MACOM. “The newest 5 W addition to the GaN in Plastic family extends MACOM’s leadership in supporting customers to meet design challenges with the key advantages of 50 V bias, CW operation and small-size, surface mount plastic packaging.”
