DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The FP1500QFN is a high performance, leadless, encapsulated packaged Aluminum Gallium
Arsenide / Indium Gallium Arsenide (AlGaAs/InGaAs) pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility
Transistor (pHEMT). It utilizes a 0.25
µm
x 1500
µm
Schottky barrier gate, defined by electron-
beam photolithography. The recessed “mushroom” gate structure minimizes parasitic gate-source
and gate resistance. The epitaxial structure and processing have been optimized for reliable high-
power applications. The FP1500’s active areas are passivated with Si
3
N
4
, and the QFN package is
ideal for low-cost, high-performance applications that require a surface-mount package. Typical
applications include drivers or output stages in PCS/Cellular amplifiers, WLL and WLAN systems,
and other types of wireless infrastructure systems up to 15 GHz.
