CHK040A-SOA
40W Power Packaged Transistor
GaN HEMT on SiC
Description
The CHK040A-SOA is an unmatched
packaged Gallium Nitride High Electron
Mobility Transistor. It offers general purpose
and broadband solutions for a variety of RF
power applications. It is well suited for multi-
purpose applications such as radar and
telecommunication
The CHK040A-SOA is developed on a 0.5µm
gate length GaN HEMT process. It requires
an external matching circuitry.
The CHK040A-SOA is available in a ceramic-
metal flange power package providing low
parasitic and low thermal resistance.
