RF2162

3V 900MHz LINEAR AMPLIFIER

The RF2162 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear amplifier IC targeting 3V hand-

held systems. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Het-

erojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as the

final RF amplifier in dual-mode 3V CDMA/AMPS hand-held digital cellular equip-

ment, spread-spectrum systems, and other applications in the 800MHz to 960MHz

band. The RF2162 has an analog bias control voltage to maximize efficiency. The

device is self-contained with 50

 input and the output can be easily matched to

obtain optimum power, efficiency, and linearity characteristics. The device is pack-

aged in a compact 4mmx4mm, 16-pin, leadless chip carrier.
