TGA2976-SM 0.1 3.0 GHz 10W GaN Power Amplifier Product Overview Qorvos TGA2976-SM is a wideband cascode amplifier fabricated on Qorvos production 0.25um GaN on SiC process. The cascode configuration offers exceptional wideband performance as well as supporting 40 V operation. The TGA2976-SM operates from 0.1 - 3.0 GHz and provides greater than 10 W of saturated output power AC-QFN 4x4 mm 14L with greater than 13 dB of large signal gain and greater than 38% power-added efficiency. Key Features The TGA2976-SM is available in a low-cost, surface mount Frequency Range: 0.1 3.0 GHz 14 lead 4x4 Air Cavity laminate package. It is ideally suited to support both radar and communication applications PSAT: >40 dBm at PIN = 27 dBm across defense and commercial markets as well as PAE: 48% mid-band electronic warfare. The TGA2976-SM is fully matched to Large Signal Gain: >13 dB 50 at both RF ports allowing for simple system Small Signal Gain: >20 dB integration. DC blocks are required on both RF ports and Bias: V = 40 V, I = 360 mA D DQ the drain voltage must be injected through an off chip bias- tee on the RF output port. Wideband Flat Gain and Power Package Dimensions: 4.0 x 4.0 x 1.64 mm Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
