DESCRIPTION
The TC3889 is a self-bias flange ceramic packaged device with TC1806N PHEMT GaAs FETs, which is
designed to provide the single power supply application. The flange ceramic package provides excellent
thermal conductivity for the GaAs FET. The devices only need to provide the positive voltage to drain and
ground the source, which is suitable for oscillator, power amplifier application in a wide range of
commercial application. All devices are 100% DC tested to assure consistent quality.
