IXYS Announces the Availability of pHEMT Transistors and MMIC Integrated Circuits in New Surface Mount Packages

Fremont, CA. July 16, 2009 — MicroWave Technology Inc. (MwT), a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation (Nasdaq:IXYS), announced the introduction of six AlGaAs/InGaAs pHEMT and InGaP HBT based high frequency products and broadband MMIC amplifier products in surface mount packages.

MMA-020624-L3 is a 2 to 6 GHz wideband linear driver in a 3mm x 3mm QFN package with 25 dBm linear output power, 15 dB of gain, and excellent linearity of 40 dBm OIP3. MMA-011015-C5 is a 1 – 10 GHz broadband driver in a 5 mm x 5 mm QFN package, which provides 15 dBm linear output power and 15 dB of gain. MMA-061829-10 is a 6 to 18 GHz broadband power amplifier in a 10 mm x 10 mm ceramic package, which has 30dBm (1 watt) of saturated power and 8 dB of gain. MMA-121630-S7 is a 12 to 16 GHz power amplifier in a 7mm x 7mm package, which provides 32 dBm (1.6 watts) of saturated output power and 26 dB of gain. MMA-022028-S7 is a 2 to 20 GHz distributed power amplifier in a 7mm x 7mm ceramic package, which has 29 dBm of saturated output power and 8 dB of gain across the band. MHA-051023D-88 is a 50 MHz to 1,000 MHz linear driver in a SOIC-8 package with excellent linearity. The push-pull amplifier provides 24 dBm of linear output power, 16.5 dB of gain, 42 dBm of OIP3, and 76 dBm of OIP2. Hermetically sealed packages are also available for these MMIC products.

Dr. Greg Zhou, General Manager of MwT, commented, “We continue to develop and optimize the performance of high frequency and broadband MMIC parts in various surface mount packages targeted at a wide range of applications including broadband military EW and defense communications, wireless infrastructures, point-to-point microwave radios, instrumentation, CATV/FTTH and others. These fully matched MMIC amplifiers housed in surface mount packages are designed for ease of use by our customers in terms of assembly and RF system integration.”
