Microchip’s MMA053AA is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) pHEMT distributed power amplifier die that operates between DC and 8 GHz.
Designers are finally able to extract disruptive system-level benefits of SiC technology to shrink the size, noise, and field failures of auxiliary power units (APUs) in transportation vehicles.
Microchip Technology, working with European Commission consortium member Clean Sky, has developed a family of SiC-based power modules for aerospace applications intended to enable more efficient and compact power conversion and engine drive systems.
