QPA2597
QorvoQPA2597 is a Qorvo gallium-nitride-on-silicon-carbide power amplifier in a QFN 4.0 x 4.0 mm package — for 2 GHz to 6 GHz radar, communications and test systems needing 32 dBm output power with 24 dB gain and 37% power-added efficiency from a 25 V drain supply. Qorvo's product page lists the part in Production, and the datasheet ordering table gives QPA2597 in waffle pack and QPA2597TR7 on tape and reel. Selection advice: do not confuse this device with the legacy TGA2597-SM — despite the similar number it is a different part with different documentation, so RFQ the exact QPA2597 code. GaN stages demand disciplined bias sequencing (gate before drain) and a thermal path sized for the dissipated power at backoff; design the bias network and heatsinking from the datasheet application guidance, and confirm the band match, since a wideband GaN die still needs band-appropriate input and output matching to reach the quoted efficiency. Parameters verified against Qorvo documentation.

QPA2597 FAQ
What should I check before substituting QPA2597 with another RF power amplifier?
Match the full ordering code, not the series name: package (QFN 4x4), temperature grade and packing all ride on the suffixes. A same-series code in a different package is a different orderable device, so confirm the substitute against the Qorvo datasheet before changing the BOM.
