Description
The MAGX-001220-100L00 is a gold metalized
Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide RF power
transistor suitable for a variety of RF power amplifier
applications. Using state of the art wafer fabrication
processes, these high performance transistors
provide high gain, efficiency, bandwidth, and
ruggedness over multiple octave bandwidths for
today’s demanding application needs. The
MAGX-001220-100L00 is constructed using a
thermally enhanced Cu/Mo/Cu flanged ceramic
package which provides excellent thermal
performance. High breakdown voltages allow for
reliable and stable operation in extreme mismatched
load conditions unparalleled with older
semiconductor technologies.

Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device.
MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits.
For saturated performance, the following is recommended: (3*VDD + abs(VGG)) 1 x 106 hours. Junction temperature directly affects device MTTF
and should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
5. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN)).
Typical Transient Thermal Resistances (Freq. = 2.0 GHz, IDQ = 500 mA):
ӨJC = 0.68C/W, Pulse Width = 300 μs, 10% duty cycle
TJ = 135C (TC = 80C, 50 V, 3.71 A, POUT = 108 W, PIN = 4 W)
ӨJC = 0.97C/W, Pulse Width = 1000 μs, 10% duty cycle
TJ = 160C (TC = 80C, 50 V, 3.64 A, POUT = 103 W, PIN = 4 W)

Turning the device ON
1. Set VGS to the pinch-off (VP), typically -5 V.
2. Turn on VDS to nominal voltage (50 V).
3. Increase VGS until the IDS current is reached.
4. Apply RF power to desired level.
Turning the device OFF
1. Turn the RF power off.
2. Decrease VGS down to VP.
3. Decrease VDS down to 0 V.
4. Turn off VGS.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Nitride devices are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static
electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should be
used when handling these devices.
