MwT Introduces High
performance PHEMT transistors for 6 to 18 GHZ Wideband or Narrowband RF
applications.
Santa Clara Ca.,
September 20, 2004. IXYS Corporation, (NASDAQ:”SYXI”), announced today that
its MwT division has introduced a high performance family of GaAs based
Power PHEMT (Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistors).
MwT’s new “PH”
series of power PHEMT (AlGaAs/InGaAs ) devices, MwT-PH-7,
PH-15, and
PH-16,
are ideally suited for those applications that require medium power,
high-gain, good linearity, high PAE (power added efficiency) and high power
density. They operate from low frequencies to up to 28 GHz frequency range.
MwT PHEMTs offer state of the art power density and power added efficiency.
Typical applications
include amplifiers for repeater systems, receiver multicouplers, LNA’s, IF
amplifiers, mixer, and switch circuits.
These new PHEMTs are
effective for wideband (6 to 18 GHz) or narrow band applications, and are
introduced in die form or packaged in RF packages. The transistors have a
P1dB (output power at 1 dB gain compression) that is nearly double that of
standard GaAs MESFETs with the same geometry.
“All of our PH
series chips are passivated using our own patented and proprietary “DLC”
process for increased durability. These devices use the same layout and
bonding as our popular MwT-7, MwT-15, and MwT-16 GaAs MESFETs. We
manufacture these devices in our own GaAs Fab in California, using our
proven and reliable process technologies for High Reliability
Military/Space, Medical and Commercial applications “, commented Dr. Greg
Zhou, GM of MwT.
More new PHEMTs will
be introduced with higher power levels. This product performance and product
specifications are far superior to earlier generations of PHEMT products.
These devices are competitively
priced and are available in both chip and package form. They are deliverable
from stock. Contact factory for a price quote and/or application information
on these products. Data sheets for these products can be downloaded here
MwT-PH-7,
PH-15, and
PH-16.
