Description
The MAGX-001090-600L00 and MAGX-001090-600L0S
are gold metalized matched Gallium Nitride (GaN)
on Silicon Carbide (SiC) RF power transistor
optimized for pulsed avionics and radar applications.
Using state of the art wafer fabrication processes,
these high performance transistors provide high
gain, efficiency, bandwidth, and ruggedness over a
wide bandwidth for today’s demanding application
needs. High breakdown voltages allow for reliable
and stable operation under more extreme mismatch
load conditions compared with older semiconductor
technologies.

2. For Mode-S ELM pulse conditions power measurements are obtained as follows:
RF input / output power is measured at the middle of the 25th pulse in the burst (t = 1.216 ms);
Droop measurements are defined as the drop in power from the 5th pulse (t = 216us) and 43rd pulse (t = 2.116ms) in the burst.

3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device.
4. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits.
5. For saturated performance it is recommended that the sum of ( 3 * VDD + | VGG | ) < 175 V.
6. Input Power Limit is +3 dB over nominal drive required to achieve P OUT = 600 W.
7. Operating junction temperature is measured with infrared (IR) microscope. Junction temperature directly affects a device's MTTF and
should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
MTTF = 5.3 x 106 hours (TJ < 200 °C)
MTTF = 6.8 x 104 hours (TJ < 250 °C)
