General Description
TriQuint’s TGA2598 is a broadband MMIC driver
amplifier fabricated on TriQuint’s production 0.25um
GaN on SiC process (TQGaN25). Covering 6-12GHz,
the TGA2598 provides more than 33dBm of saturated
output power and 21dB of small signal gain while
achieving more than 31% power-added efficiency.
The TGA2598 is an ideal choice to drive TriQuint’s high
performing x-band GaN HPAs allowing the user to run
both driver and HPA off the same voltage rail.
Fully matched to 50Ω with integrated DC blocking
capacitors on both I/O ports, the TGA2598 is ideally
suited for both military and commercial radar and
communications applications .
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
Evaluation boards are available upon request.
