RF2155
3V PROGRAMMABLE GAIN POWER AMPLIFIER
• Analog Communication Systems
• 900MHz Spread Spectrum Systems
• 400MHz Industrial Radios
• Driver Stage for Higher Power Applications
• 3V Applications
The RF2155 is a 3 V medium power programmable gain
amplifierIC. The deviceis manufacturedonanadvanced
Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
process, and has been designed for use as the final RF
amplifier in analog cellular phone transmitters or ISM
applications operating at 915MHz. The device is self-con-
tained with the exception of the output matching network
and power supply feed line. A two-bit digital control pro-
vides 4 levels of power control, in 8dB steps.
• Single 3V Supply
• 500mW CW Output Power
• 31dB Small Signal Gain
• Up to 60% Efficiency
• Digitally Controlled Output Power
• 430MHz to 930MHz Frequency Range
