N–Channel Enhancement Mode MOSFET
Designed for broadband commercial and military applications up to 400 MHz
frequency range. Primarily used as a driver or output amplifier in push–pull
configurations. Can be used in manual gain control, ALC and modulation
circuits.
• Typical Performance at 400 MHz, 28 V:
Output Power — 100 W
Gain — 12 dB
Efficiency — 60%
• Low Thermal Resistance
• Low C
— 10 pF Typ @ VDS = 28 Volts
rss
• Ruggedness Tested at Rated Output Power
• Nitride Passivated Die for Enhanced Reliability
• Excellent Thermal Stability; Suited for Class A
Operation
• Circuit board photomaster available upon request by
contacting RF Tactical Marketing in Phoenix, AZ.
