Applications Commercial and Military Radar Communications Electronic Warfare (EW) Product Features Functional Block Diagram Frequency Range: 6-12 GHz Push-Pull Configuration Low Harmonic Content; -4 dbc at Psat Small Signal Gain: > 27 db Power: > 32 dbm PAE: > % IM3: < -2 dbc Input Return Loss > db Output Return Loss > 1 db Bias: VD = V, IDQ = 2 ma Package Dimensions: 5. x 5. x 1.42 mm General Description TriQuint's TGA2627-SM is a push-pull driver amplifier fabricated on TriQuint's TQGaN.um GaN on SiC production process. The TGA2627-SM operates from 6 to 12 GHz and provides 32 dbm of output power with 18 db of large signal gain and greater than 2 % poweradded efficiency. The push-pull topology yields > 4dB of harmonic suppression at Psat. Using GaN MMIC technology and air-cavity ceramic QFN packaging, the TGA2627-SM provides a low cost driver solution that provides the added benefit of operating on the same voltage rail as the corresponding GaN HPA. It can also serve as the output power amplifier on lower power architectures. The TGA2627-SM is offered in a 5x5 mm air-cavity QFN with an aluminum nitride base and LCP lid. It is wellmatched to 5 ohms and includes integrated DC blocking caps on both RF ports allowing for simple system integration.
