Product Description Qorvo s TGA2214 is a wideband power amplifier fabricated on Qorvo s QGaN15 GaN on SiC process. The TGA2214 operates from 2 GHz and achieves 5 W of saturated output power with 14 db of large signal gain and greater than 2 % power-added efficiency. This combination of wideband power, gain and efficiency provides system designers the flexibility to improve system performance while reducing size and cost. The TGA2214 is matched to 5 Ω with integrated DC blocking capacitors on both RF ports simplifying system integration; it is ideally suited for electronic warfare, test instrumentation and radar applications across both military and commercial markets. Lead free and RoHS compliant. Evaluation Boards are available upon request.

Assembly Notes Component placement and adhesive attachment assembly notes: Vacuum pencils and/or vacuum collets are the preferred method of pick up. Air bridges must be avoided during placement. The force impact is critical during auto placement. Organic attachment (i.e. epoxy) can be used in low-power applications. Curing should be done in a convection oven; proper exhaust is a safety concern. Reflow process assembly notes: Use AuSn (8/2) solder and limit exposure to temperatures above 3 C to 3 4 minutes, maximum. An alloy station or conveyor furnace with reducing atmosphere should be used. Do not use any kind of flux. Coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical for long-term reliability. Devices must be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. Interconnect process assembly notes: Thermosonic ball bonding is the preferred interconnect technique. Force, time, and ultrasonic are critical parameters. Aluminum wire should not be used. Devices with small pad sizes should be bonded with.7-inch wire. Data Sheet Rev.
