PN: CGH60030D CGH60030D 30 W, 6.0 GHz, GaN HEMT Die Crees CGH60030D is a gallium nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT). GaN has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide, including higher breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity, and higher thermal conductivity. GaN HEMTs offer greater power density and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors. FEATURES APPLICATIONS 15 dB Typical Small Signal Gain at 4 GHz 2-Way Private Radio 12 dB Typical Small Signal Gain at 6 GHz Broadband Amplifiers 30 W Typical P Cellular Infrastructure SAT 28 V Operation Test Instrumentation High Breakdown Voltage Class A, AB, Linear amplifiers suitable High Temperature Operation for OFDM, W-CDMA, EDGE, CDMA Up to 6 GHz Operation waveforms High Efficiency Packaging Information Bare die are shipped in Gel-Pak containers. Non-adhesive tacky membrane immobilizes die during shipment.
