Sirenza Microdevices Announces Production Release of a New High Linearity, 3 Watt LDMOS Transistor Featuring Proprietary Thermally Efficient Plastic P

Sirenza Microdevices (Nasdaq: SMDI) today announced the production release of the company's first plastic encapsulated surface mount packaged Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor. The SLD-1026Z is housed in Sirenza's proprietary new low thermal resistance SOF-26 package, offering versatility and high performance from 10 - 2700 MHz.

Operating from 28V, 50mA quiescent current, the SLD-1026Z provides 19dB gain, 35 percent drain efficiency and -28dBc 3rd order intermodulation products at 3W output power. It is fabricated using Sirenza's high performance XeMOS II(TM) process.

"The SLD-1026Z is an exciting new addition to Sirenza's family of LDMOS power discretes," stated Jeff Gudewicz, strategic business unit director for standard products. "The SOF-26 package, coupled with the 3W high linearity LDMOS transistor, provides our customers an excellent low-cost solution for driver and power amplifiers in their wireless base station, RFID, and high-reliability radio applications."

The SLD-1026Z is available for immediate shipment in a RoHS/WEEE compliant proprietary plastic SOF-26 package. Samples and application design support are available by contacting Sirenza at apps@sirenza.com.
