DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The LP3000 is an Aluminum Gallium Arsenide / Indium Gallium Arsenide (AlGaAs/InGaAs) Pseudomorphic High Electron
Mobility Transistor (PHEMT), utilizing an Electron-Beam direct-write 0.25
µm
by 3000
µm
Schottky barrier gate. The
recessed “mushroom” gate structure minimizes parasitic gate-source and gate resistances. The epitaxial structure and
processing have been optimized for reliable high-power applications. The LP3000 also features Si

passivation and is
available with plated source via-holes (LPV 3000) as an option for improved high-frequency performance. Also available in
a ceramic flanged package (P100) and ball grid array package.
Typical applications include commercial and military high-performance power amplifiers, including SATCOM uplink
transmitters, PCS/Cellular low-voltage high-efficiency output amplifiers, and medium-haul digital radio transmitters. The
LPV 3000/LP 3000 may be procured in a variety of grades, depending upon specific user requirements. Standard lot
screening is patterned after MIL-STD-19500, JANC grade. Space-level screening to FSS JANS grade is also available.
