Description

The TriQuint TGF4250-SCC is a single gate 4.8 mm discrete GaAs Heterostructure Field Effect Transistor (HFET) designed for high efficiency power applications up to 10.5 GHz in Class A and Class AB operation. Typical performance at 2 GHz is 34 dBm power output, 13 dB gain, and 53% PAE.

Bond pad and backside metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic alloy attach methods as well as thermocompression and thermosonic wire bonding processes. The TGF4250-SCC is readily assembled using automatic equipment. For an Application Note on the use of HFETs, refer to the TriQuint website for the Millimeter Wave Division.
