CGH40006S

6 W, RF Power GaN HEMT, Plastic


Crees CGH40006S is an unmatched, gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The CGH40006S, operating from a 28 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 CGH40006S ideal for linear and compressed amplifier circuits. The transistor is available in a 3mm x 3mm, surface mount, quad-flat-no-lead (QFN) package.

It refers to the temperature at the ground tab underneath the package. The PCB will add additional thermal resistance. The RTH for Crees demonstration amplifier, CGH40006S-TB, with 13 (20 mil) via holes designed on a 20 mil thick Rogers 5880 PCB, is 5.1C. The total Rth from the heat sink to the junction is 10.1C +5.1C = 15.2 C/W.

Notes: 1 Measured on wafer prior to packaging. 2 Measured in Crees narrow band production test fixture AD-000291. This fixture is designed for high volume test at 5.8 GHz and may not show the full capability of the device due to source inductance and thermal performance. The demonstration amplifier, CGH40006STB, is a better indicator of the true RF performance of the device. 3 Drain Efficiency = POUT / PDC
