CGHV40200PP
200 W, 50 V, GaN HEMT
Description
Cree’s CGHV40200PP is an unmatched, gallium nitride (GaN) high
electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The CGHV40200PP, operating
from a 50 volt rail, offers a general purpose, broadband solution
to a variety of RF and microwave applications. GaN HEMTs offer
high efficiency, high gain and wide bandwidth capabilities making
the CGHV40200PP ideal for linear and compressed amplifier
circuits. The transistor is available in a 4-lead flange package.
