DESCRIPTION
The NE8500199 is a medium power GaAs MESFET designed
for up to a 1W output stage or as a driver for higher power
devices. The device has no internal matching and can be
used at frequencies from UHF to 8.5 GH
Z
. The device is
available in the “99” package or in chip form. The chip is a two-
cell die; bonding both cells delivers the rated performance.
The NE850 Series Transistors are manufactured to NEC's
stringent quality assurance standards to ensure highest reli-
ability and consistent superior performance.
Note:
1. Operation in excess of any one of these parameters may result in
permanent damage.
