RF2157
PCS CDMA/TDMA 3V POWER AMPLIFIER
• 3V 1850-1910MHz CDMA PCS Handsets
• 3V 1750-1780MHz CDMA PCS Handsets
• 3V TDMA PCS Handsets
• Spread-Spectrum Systems
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF2157 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear ampli-
fier IC targeting 3V handheld systems. The device is
manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Hetero-
junction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been
designed for use as the final RF amplifier in dual-mode
3 V CDMA and TDMA handheld digital equipment,
spread-spectrum systems, and other applications in the
1710 MHz to 1910 MHz band. The device is packaged in a
compact 4mmx4 mm LCC, as well as a 4 mmx4mm MLF
(micro leaded package). The frequency response can be
optimized for linear performance over 1710MHz to
1910 MHz. The device features a digital mode switch
which can be used to minimize operating current under
low output power conditions.
• Single 3V Supply
• 29dBm Linear Output Power
• 24dB Linear Gain
• 35% Linear Efficiency
• On-board Power Down Mode
• 1750MHz to 1910MHz Operation
