DESCRIPTION
The TC1504N is a GaAs Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (PHEMT) which has high linearity
and high Power Added Efficiency. The device is processed without via -holes for single-bias applications. The
short gate length enables the device to be used in circuits up to 20GHz. All devices are 100% DC tested to assure
consistent quality. Bond pads are gold plated for either thermo-compression or thermo-sonic wire bonding.
Backside gold plating is compatible with standard AuSn die -attach. Typical application include commercial and
military high performance power amplifiers
