Cree’s silicon carbide (SiC) metal-semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs) are being stocked by distributor Digi-Key.

Cree’s 10W CRF24010 and 60W CRF24060 are un-internally matched SiC RF transistors, capable of supporting wide operational bandwidths.

SiC technology offers high breakdown voltage, high saturated electron drift velocity, and high thermal conductivity.

Expected applications include wideband military comms, secure homeland defence comms, Class A and A/B amplifiers, TDMA, EDGE, CDMA, W-CDMA broadband amplifiers, and WiMAX.

Also available are the CRF24010-TB and CRF24060-TB demonstration test fixtures.
