GaN-on-Si RF Power Transistor covers 5.1 to 5.8 GHz ranges.
October 13, 2008 -
Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, NPTB00004 gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) RF power transistor come in plastic over-molded PO150S package with exposed thermal pad and includes frequencies between 5.1-5.2 GHz and 5.7-5.8 GHz. This 28 V, 5 W class high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) achieves 27 dBm average output power at 2% EVM in 5.2 GHz WiMAX systems and 28 dBm average output power at 2% EVM in 5.8 GHz WiMAX systems.
Nitronex Releases 5.1 - 5.8GHz Performance Data on its 5W GaN-on-Si RF Power Transistor
Performance data expanded to include higher frequencies between 5.1 - 5.2GHz and 5.7 - 5.8GHz...
CHICAGO - WiMAX World, Booth #923, (September 30, 2008) - Nitronex, the global leader in gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) RF power transistors for the wireless infrastructure, broadband and military markets, has expanded the performance data of its 28V, 5W class high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) to include frequencies between 5.1 - 5.2GHz and 5.7 - 5.8GHz. Designated the NPTB00004, it achieves 27 dBm (400mW) average output power at 2% EVM in 5.2 GHz WiMAX systems, and 28 dBm (630mW) average output power at 2% EVM in 5.8 GHz WiMAX systems (single carrier OFDM, 64-QAM ¾, 8 burst, 20ms frame, 15ms frame data, 3.5MHz channel bandwidth, peak/avg = 10.3dB).
This data is now available in the NPTB00004 datasheet available on the Nitronex website.
"This data on the NPTB00004 provides our customers with an ideal solution for WiMAX applications in the 5GHz band of operation," said Ray Crampton, Director of Marketing at Nitronex. "The NPTB00004 is a uniquely versatile product that, combined with other broadband devices from Nitronex, allows designers to develop power amplifiers for multiple frequency bands using a common power device lineup."
The NPTB00004 transistors are packaged in a cost-effective plastic over-molded PO150S (similar to a SOIC-8) package with an exposed thermal pad. Samples and application boards are available. Typical pricing is $9 each in quantities of 1000, with a lead time from stock to ten weeks.
The NPTB00004 transistors are lead-free and RoHS compliant.
