TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. announced 15 new gallium nitride (GaN) amplifiers and transistors along with two new GaN processes. These products offer performance, size and durability advantages for communications, radar and defense RF systems. TriQuint innovation will be displayed at the IEEE IMS /MTT-S convention and exhibition in Seattle, Washington, June 4-6, Booth 530. TriQuint's original quarter-micron process is now complemented by a high voltage variant, TQGaN25HV. The new process extends the drain operating voltage of 0.25-micron gallium nitride to 48V while delivering higher breakdown voltage, greater power density and high gain for DC-10 GHz applications. These advantages enable more rugged devices that can withstand VSWR mismatches that might destroy other circuits while delivering more RF output power. A new TriQuint product designed with this process is T1G4012036-FS/FL, a 120W packaged transistor for radar and infrastructure. It is nearly two-thirds smaller than similar LDMOS devices. Additional products built with TQGaN25HV are now available. TriQuint has taken GaN technology to new limits with its third process, TQGaN15. It pushes the frequency range of gallium nitride to 40 GHz while delivering high power density and low-noise performance. This 0.15-micron GaN on SiC process was used to create TriQuint's new TGA2594 (4W) and TGA2595 (10W) Ka-band VSAT ground terminal amplifiers. They have up to 35% PAE and are three times smaller than comparable gallium arsenide (GaAs) solutions. Additional products built using TQGaN15 are now available.

TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. elected Roderick D. Nelson as director of the company until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are elected.
