Description
The MAGX-000035-09000P is a GaN on SiC
unmatched power device offering the widest RF
frequency capability, most reliable high voltage
operation, lowest overall power transistor size, cost
and weight in a “TRUE SMT” plastic-packaging
technology.
Use of an internal stress buffer technology allows
reliable operation at junction temperatures up to
200°C. The small package size and excellent RF
performance make it an ideal replacement for costly
flanged or metal-backed module components.

Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device.
M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits.
For saturated performance it is recommended that the sum of (3 * VDD + abs (VGG)) < 175 V.
CW operation at VDD voltages above 28 V is not recommended.
Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ 200°C will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. Junction temperature
directly affects device MTTF and should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
11. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))
Typical CW thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 5.69°C/W
