Nuvotronics Uses PolyStrata® Technology to Develop High-Performance Package for Qorvo's GaN Amplifiers

Nuvotronics, a division of Cubic Mission & Performance Solutions, has introduced the PolyStrata® Package (PSP1029439), an innovative packaging solution designed for Qorvo’s TGA2962 2-20 GHz 10-Watt GaN Amplifier. The new package enhances thermal management, stability, and ease of integration while maintaining the amplifier's optimal performance, making it ideal for high-demand applications in military, space, communications, and instrumentation.

Key Features and Benefits

The PSP1029439 package offers advanced capabilities tailored for modern engineering challenges. Its efficient heat dissipation system removes thermal reliance on the PCB by channeling heat through the package lid and sides. Additionally, its compact dimensions of 5.5 x 6 x 1.45 mm and SMT compatibility simplify integration into standard processes, while built-in wire-bonded capacitors improve stability.

This solution ensures ease of use with a robust design that is compatible with automated gold wire bonding and standard solder reflow processes. Its immersion gold-over-immersion silver surface finish further enhances its reliability in diverse environments.

Optimized Thermal Management

Nuvotronics conducted extensive thermal analysis, demonstrating the PSP1029439's ability to handle significant heat dissipation efficiently. Removing heat via the package lid, for instance, reduces case temperatures compared to traditional PCB-based cooling, leading to improved performance under high-power conditions.

For example, using silver sinter paste as an adhesive and maintaining the heat sink at 25°C results in a channel temperature of 195°C at 45W power dissipation, underscoring the package's capability to sustain heavy loads.

Broad Applicability

The PSP1029439 package is ideally suited for critical sectors such as military and space, where durability and reliability are paramount. It is also effective in high-frequency communication and instrumentation systems, offering enhanced performance and operational stability across various domains. Click here for more information on PSP1029439.
