Product Description
The MAGX-003135-180L00 is a gold metalized matched Gallium
Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide RF power transistor optimized
for civilian and military radar pulsed applications between 3100 -
3500 MHz. Using state of the art wafer fabrication processes,
these high performance transistors provide high gain, efficiency,
bandwidth, ruggedness over a wide bandwidth for today’s
demanding application needs. The MAGX-003135-180L00 is
constructed using a thermally enhanced Cu/Mo/Cu flanged
ceramic package which provides excellent thermal performance.
High breakdown voltages allow for reliable and stable operation
in extreme mismatched load conditions unparalleled with older
semiconductor technologies.

(1) Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage.
(2) Channel temperature directly affects a device's MTTF. Channel temperature should be kept as low as
possible to maximize lifetime.
(3) For saturated performance it recommended that the sum of (3*Vdd + abs(Vgg)) <175
