The TGA4501 is fabricated using TriQuint s proven 0.25-micron gate length, power PHEMT process. TriQuint s power PHEMT process produces high frequency device performance comparable to that normally associated with 0.15-micron gate length devices while providing high device yields of a mature production process.
Larry Mowatt, Director of the Satellite Communications Business Unit said, "The TGA4501 provides our customers with benchmark power performance available from a single MMIC device and aggressive volume pricing that will enable the widespread deployment of consumer products. The availability of the TGA4501 eliminates the need for costly multi-chip assemblies to achieve the transmit output power required for system operation.
The TriQuint TGA4501 has been designed into several Ka-Band VSAT ground terminal and millimeter wave radio products by leading systems and subsystems manufacturers. The TGA4501 is currently shipping in pre-production volumes, with expected ramp to full volume production in the second half of 2002.
The TGA4501 is offered in chip form. Bond pad and backside metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic alloy attachment methods as well as with thermo-compression and thermo-sonic wire bonding. Each chip is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer to ensure performance compliance. Production pricing for 10,000 piece quantities is $99.00 each. Delivery is available from stock to 12 weeks for higher volume orders.
