Nitronex develops GaN power transistor product reliability calculator
(Technology News, 07 Jul 2008 )
Nitronex has developed a product reliability calculator to help customers determine the operating life and peak junction temperature of its gallium nitride RF power transistors. Nitronex's reliability calculator features pre-programmed device parameters that quickly and easily provide accurate product performance and MTTF data to aid their customers' design processes.
Nitronex is the only GaN RF power device manufacturer to openly provide customers with full qualification reports on all of its RF power transistors. This data, along with technical papers and frequently asked questions, is available online at http://www.nitronex.com/reliability.html.
Nitronex's rugged and reliable components provide significant performance advantages in the area of high power and high frequency for RF applications up to 6GHz. GaN RF power amplifiers feature high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage and superior robustness to output mismatches. Nitronex combines the high performance GaN technology with the low-cost and ease of use of silicon substrates to achieve new levels of affordability for high-voltage RF power.
