What made you select Qorvo’s QPA1315 to feature? How does it differentiate from others/what value does it offer? Qorvo’s new QPA1315 GaN Power amplifier offers full radar band coverage with 35W PSAT. It addresses emerging applications in perimeter surveillance and drone applications. Fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15), the QPA1315 is targeted for 15.4–17.7 GHz band. It provides 35W of saturated output power with 21 dB of large signal gain while achieving 20% power-added efficiency. Additionally, the QPA1315 simplifies system integration. It’s fully matched to 50 ohms with DC grounded I/O ports for optimum ESD…
What made you select Qorvo’s ACT43750 as a product to feature? How does the ACT43750 differentiate from its competitors? The Qorvo ACT43750 is a highly-integrated drain switch and negative gate voltage regulator PMIC that enables ultra-fast RF GaN PA drain switching. The device provides programmable gate bias voltage, a fast drain switch response of 30ns (typ), auto bias sequencing, configurable IQ (drain) setpoint, and auto-calibration to compensate for the effects of temperature/aging. When used with the ACT43850 RFPoL buck regulator and constant current capacitor charger ICs, the chipset forms a complete compact power supply system. This system is designed for…
Article By Microchip Product Manager Baljit Chandhoke RF systems need power amplifiers (PAs) to deliver linear efficient high output power. As systems move to higher-order modulation schemes such as 64/128/256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), they also must deliver high linearity and efficiency in denser environments with stringent peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). This performance is critical in Aerospace & Defense (A&D), Satellite Communications (Satcom) and 5G Communications. A new generation of Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide (SiC) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) PAs offers a solution to these challenges with the highest power density to generate high linear output power with high…

What made you select the Qorvo UJ4SC075005L8S 5.4 mohm 750V Gen 4 SiC FET as a product to feature? How does this product differentiate from others and what value does it offer? Qorvo’s UJ4SC075005L8S 5.4 mohm 750V Gen 4 SiC FET provides ultra-low Rds(on) and unmatched performance across the main figures of merit (FOM) for on-resistance and output capacitance. The 750V rating offers enhanced voltage transient margin over similar 600 – 650V rated devices. Additionally, the new TOLL (TO-Leadless) package offers a Kelvin-source connection for high-speed switching and smaller footprint than D2PAK surface-mount packages. Advanced manufacturing techniques including sintered die attach…
Introduction by Kirk BartonHow can a designer approach reducing oscillations and voltage spikes in semiconductor switches? Unwanted oscillations and voltage spikes in semiconductor switches can pose serious challenges and potentially compromise the overall operation of electronic circuits. The occurrence of oscillations can generate high-frequency noise, which in turn can interfere with the functioning of nearby electronic components. This can lead to signal distortion, reduced signal quality, and other related issues that can adversely affect the performance and reliability of the circuit. Voltage spikes generated during switching can cause damage to the semiconductor switch itself, as well as other connected electronic…
