TGA2214-CP
2 – 18 GHz 4 W GaN Power Amplifier
Product Description
Qorvo’s TGA2214-CP is a packaged wideband power
amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s QGaN15 0.15 µm GaN on
SiC process. Operating from 2 to 18 GHz, the TGA2214-
CP generates > 4 W saturated output power with a power-
added efficiency of > 15 %, and > 14 dB large signal gain
across the entire operational band.
The TGA2214-CP is offered in a 10-lead 15 x 15 mm bolt-
down package. The package has a pure Cu base, offering
superior thermal management. The TGA2214-CP is ideally
suited to support, both in the commercial and the defense
arenas, applications requiring either wideband or multi-
band frequency performance.
Both RF ports have integrated DC blocking capacitors and
are fully matched to 50 Ohms.
Lead free and RoHS compliant.
Evaluation Boards are available upon request.
