TGA2239 13 – 15.5 GHz 35 W GaN Power Amplifier Data Sheet Rev. B, September, 2018 - 1 of 15 - www.qorvo.com Product Description Qorvo’s TGA2239 is a Ku-band, high power MMIC amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process. The TGA2239 operates from 13 – 15.5 GHz and provides a superior combination of power, gain and efficiency by achieving greater than 35 W of saturated output power with 24.5 dB of large signal gain and greater than 32 % power-added efficiency. This superior performance provides system designers the flexibility to improve system performance while reducing size and cost. The TGA2239 is fully matched to 50 Ω with integrated DC blocking capacitors on RF ports simplifying system integration. It is ideally suited for military and commercial Ku-band radar and satellite communication systems. Lead-free and RoHS compliant. Evaluation boards are available upon request.

Application Circuit

Notes: VG & VD must be biased from both sides, top and bottom.

Bias Up Procedure 1. Set ID limit to 6 A, IG limit to 50 mA

2. Set VG to −5 V

3. Set VD +22 V

4. Adjust VG until IDQ = 900 mA (VG ~ −2.7 V Typ.)

5. Apply RF signal

Bias Down Procedure 1. Turn off RF supply

2. Reduce VG to −5 V; ensure IDQ is approx. 0 mA

3. Set VD to 0 V

4. Turn off VD supply

5. Turn off VG supply

Assembly Notes Component placement and adhesive attachment assembly notes:

• Vacuum pencils and/or vacuum collets are the preferred method of pick up. • Air bridges must be avoided during placement. • The force impact is critical during auto placement.

Reflow process assembly notes:

• Use AuSn (80/20) solder and limit exposure to temperatures above 300 C to 3 – 4 minutes, maximum. • An alloy station or conveyor furnace with reducing atmosphere should be used. • Do not use any kind of flux. • Coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical for long-term reliability. • Devices must be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere.

Interconnect process assembly notes:

• Thermosonic ball bonding is the preferred interconnect technique. • Force, time, and ultrasonic are critical parameters. • Aluminum wire should not be used. • Devices with small pad sizes should be bonded with 0.0007-inch wire.
