High operating temperature. High voltage operation, higher power output and wider bandwidth. Higher Power Per part

GaN on SiC - higher power, higher frequency, longer pulses and duty cycle capabilities than Silicon:

Capability System Benefit

• Increase reliability • High operating temperature • Extend system range with

High power wide band amplifiers

• Reduce part size / eliminate cooling requirements
