Product Description
The TriQuint TG4040 is a Medium Power Amplifier
and Multiplier for a wide band of 17 43GHz
applications. The part is designed using TriQuint's
0.15um power pHEMT production process.
The TGA4040 provides a nominal 25 dB small
signal gain with 22 dBm output power @ 1 dB gain
compression. For 2x and 3x Multiplier Function,
TGA4040 provides 15 dBm typical of Output
Power @ 9 dBm Pin.
The part is ideally suited for applications such as
Point-to-Point Radio, EW, Instrumentation and
frequency multipliers.
The TGA4040 is 100% DC and RF tested on-
wafer to ensure performance compliance.
The TGA4040 has a protective surface passivation
layer providing environmental robustness.
Lead-Free & RoHS compliant.
