CHA8100
RoHS COMPLIANT
X-band HBT High Power Amplifier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHA8100 chip is a monolithic twostage high power amplifier designed for X band applications. The HPA provides typically 11W output power, 40% power added efficiency and a high robustness on mismatched output. Moreover it includes: • an analogue biasing circuit that makes
it less sensitive to spread and chip environment. • an integrated TTL interface that enables to switch the HPA with a current consumption lower than 1mA
The circuit is 100% DC and RF tested on wafer to ensure performance compliance. This device is manufactured using a GaInP HBT process, including, via holes through the substrate and air bridges.
