DESCRIPTION

The TC1953A is a two stages PHEMT medium power amplifier MMIC that operates from 13.75 to 14.5 GHz. The

amplifier provides a minimum of 16 dB gain and delivers 21 dBm output power from 13.75 to 14.5GHz. The MMIC

is fabricated using Transcom’s proprietary matured GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full passivation for

increased performance and reliability. All devices are 100 % DC tested to assure consistent quality. Bond pads are

gold plated for either thermocompression or thermosonic wire bonding. Backside gold plating is compatible with

standard AuSn die-attach.
