RF2175
3V 400MHZ LINEAR AMPLIFIER
• 3V TETRA Cellular Handsets
• 3V CDMA Cellular Handsets
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF2175 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 TETRA
hand-held digital cellular equipment, spread-spectrum
systems, and other applications in the 380MHz to
512MHz band. The RF2175 has an analog bias control
voltagetomaximize efficiency. Thedeviceis self-con-
tained with 50
Ω input, and the output can be easily
matched to obtain optimum power, efficiency, and linear-
ity characteristics. The package is a small SSOP-16 plas-
tic with backside ground.
