DESCRIPT I ON
The AM80912-030 device is a high power Class C
transistorspecifically designedforJTIDS pulsedoutput anddriverapplications.
Thisdeviceis capable ofoperation over a widerange
of pulse widths, duty cycles and temperatures and is
capable of withstanding 15:1 output VSWR at rated
RF conditions.
Low RF thermal resistance and computerized automaticwirebonding techniques ensure high reliability
and product consistency.
The AM80912-030 is supplied in the hermetic metal/ceramic package with internal input matching
structures.
