GaN driver amplifier operates over 13-18GHz bandwidth
Availability and full design support capabilities for a new 2W GaN driver amplifier from Qorvo have been announced by distributor Richardson RFPD. The TGA2958-SM is a packaged Ku-band amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s 0.15um GaN on SiC production process (QGaN15). Operating over a 13-18GHz bandwidth, the device delivers 2W of saturated output power with 20dB large signal gain and > 25% power added efficiency.
EuMW 2015: GaN RF transistors enable smaller radar units
Three new GaN RF transistors in low-cost plastic packages designed to enable smaller size and greater reliability in civilian marine, airborne and infrastructure radar systems were unveiled by Qorvo at European Microwave Week in Paris. The TGF2977-SM, TGF2978-SM, and TGF2979-SM are unmatched GaN transistors designed to operate in the 8-12GHz frequency band.
Mergers & acquisitions continue through uncertain business climate
IC Insights has examined the huge surge of Merger & Acquisition (M&A) activity in the IC industry during the first six months of 2015. In just the first half of 2015, announced semiconductor acquisition agreements had a combined total value of $72.6bn, which was nearly six times the annual average for M&A deals struck during the five previous years (2010-2014).
pHEMT dual RF amplifier targets CATV
A new pHEMT dual RF amplifier from Qorvo is in stock at distributor Richardson RFPD. The TAT7472A1F is a 75Ω RF amplifier designed for CATV use but capable of operation up to 1218 MHz, making it suitable for DOCSIS 3.1. It contains two separate amplifiers for push-pull applications and is fabricated using 6-inch GaAs pHEMT technology to optimise performance and cost.
RF building blocks duck under Richardson RFPD Qorvo umbrella
The complete, integrated Qorvo portfolio of products is now available at Richardson RFPD. The distributor's new role follows the merger of TriQuint Semiconductor and RFMD to form Qorvo. Richardson RFPD has been a leading distributor of TriQuint products for several years and the distributor now also markets RFMD products under the Qorvo umbrella.
30W GAN on SIC HEMT operates from DC to 3.5GHz
A new discrete GaN on SiC HEMT from TriQuint / Qorvo is now being shipped by Richardson RFPD with full design support capabilities. The 30W (P3dB) T2G4003532 operates from DC to 3.5GHz and is constructed with TriQuint’s TQGaN25 production process, which features advanced field plate techniques to optimise power and efficiency at high drain bias operating conditions.
