The CMPA0527005F from MACOM is a GaN HEMT MMIC that operates from 0.5 to 2.7 GHz. It provides an output power of 8 W with a gain of 20 dB and requires a 50 V rail voltage. The device is matched to 50 ohms at the input and unmatched at the output. It has been developed to be used as a pre-driver from 500 MHz to 2700 MHz. The transistor is available in a 6 leaded flange package.
