Richardson RFPD Announces Availability Of Compact Airfast GaN Reference Design From NXP

Orderable reference design for A3G26D055N 55 W peak GaN discrete transistor

Richardson RFPD, Inc., an Arrow Electronics company, announced today the availability and full design support capabilities for a new reference design from NXP Semiconductors.

The A3G26D055N-100 is an orderable reference design for NXP’s A3G26D055NT4, a 100–2690 MHz, RF power discrete GaN HEMT housed in a DFN 7 mm x 6.5 mm over-molded plastic package. It has an unmatched output allowing for wide frequency range utilization. The transistor is designed for cellular base station applications requiring wide instantaneous bandwidth capability.

The A3G26D055N-100 circuit optimizes the device from 100–2500 MHz, with 12 W CW and 11 dB gain by utilizing half of the device. The compact circuit (7 cm x 5 cm) is available for order from Richardson RFPD, and the circuit information is licensable from NXP.
