DESCRIPTION
The TC1101 is a GaAs Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (PHEMT) chip, which has very
low noise figure, high associated gain and high dynamic range. The device can be used in circuits up to 40
GHz and suitable for low noise and medium power amplifier applications including a wide range of
commercial and military applications. All devices are 100% DC tested to assure consistent quality. All
bond pads are gold plated for either thermo-compression or thermo-sonic wire bonding.
