Qorvo's TGA2597-SM is a packaged driver amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's TQGaN25 0.25um GaN on SiC production process. The TGA2597-SM operates from 2.0 to 6.0GHz and provides 32 dBm of output power with14 dB of large signal gain and 31 % power added efficiency.

Using GaN MMIC technology and plastic packaging, the TGA2597-SM provides a low cost driver solution that provides the added benefit of operating on the same voltage rail as the corresponding GaN HPA. It can also serve as the output power amplifier in lower power architectures.

The TGA2597-SM is offered in a 4x4 mm plastic overmold QFN. It is internally matched to 50 ohms and includes integrated DC blocking caps on both RF ports allowing for simple system integration.

Lead-Free & RoHS compliant.
