QPD1029L

Overview

The Qorvo QPD1029L is a discrete Gallium Nitride on Silicon Carbide (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) designed for high-power radio frequency applications. It operates within the 1.2 GHz to 1.4 GHz frequency range and delivers an output power of 1500 W at the 3 dB compression point (P3dB). The device is rated for a maximum drain voltage of 65 V. A key characteristic is its input-matched configuration, which integrates prematching circuitry within the package to simplify external board matching requirements.

Feature Summary

• Discrete GaN on SiC HEMT technology for high-power RF performance
• Input-matched design with integrated prematching to reduce external component count
• Optimized for ease of external board matching and space-saving integration
