CLF1G0060S-30U

Overview

The CLF1G0060S-30U is a broadband RF power GaN HEMT manufactured by Ampleon. It operates from DC to 6.0 GHz with a rated output power of 30 W. The device supports high voltage operation at 50 V and features excellent ruggedness, capable of withstanding a VSWR of 10:1. It utilizes an earless flanged ceramic package (SOT1227B) for thermal enhancement. Typical performance at 3 GHz includes a drain efficiency of 54% and a power gain of 13.5 dB under pulsed RF conditions.

Feature Summary

• Broadband frequency coverage from DC to 6.0 GHz
• High ruggedness supporting VSWR up to 10:1
• Thermally enhanced earless flanged ceramic package

Applications

• Commercial wireless infrastructure including cellular and WiMAX
• Industrial, scientific, and medical equipment
• Radar systems and jammers
• Broadband general purpose amplifiers
• EMC testing applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm the exact package variant. The 'S' designation indicates the SOT1227B earless flanged ceramic package. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ESD sensitivity classification prior to integration into designs requiring strict handling protocols.

Selection Notes

Select this component for wideband applications requiring high linearity and power density across multiple gigahertz bands. Ensure the design accommodates the 50 V drain-source voltage limit and provides adequate heat sinking for the flanged package. Verify that the application does not require automotive qualification as the product is non-automotive qualified.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLF1G0060 series of general-purpose broadband GaN HEMTs. The CLF1G0060S-30 variant specifically denotes the earless flanged ceramic package configuration. It shares core electrical characteristics with the flanged version but differs in mechanical mounting requirements due to the absence of side ears.

Replacement Considerations

CLF1G0060-30 serves as the primary alternative within the same family, differing only in the inclusion of mounting holes on the flange.
