Enabling engineerrs to deliver higher performance while managing size, cost and power, this family of 50-V GaN transistors offers significant operational and system cost savings from greater system-level efficiency. The small device size and higher impedance input/output leads help optimize board designs for radar, communications, avionics, wideband amplifiers and test instrumentation.
The QPD1009 and QPD1010 are now available in low-cost 3- x 3-mm plastic QFN packages, while the QPD1008(L) and QPD1015(L) are now available in industry standard, thermally enhanced NI-360 air cavity ceramic packages, in eared and earless versions. This family of GaN transistors operates from 10 W up to 125 W power levels.
