RFGA2012

InGaP HBT LOW POWER LINEAR AMPLIFIER

The RFGA2012 is specifically designed to achieve high OIP3 with minimal

DC power. Ultra-linear performance has been demonstated in standard

frequency bands within 150MHz to 3GHz. The RFGA2012 features a

VBIAS pin that allows users to optimize the quiescent current for specific

requirements. The VBIAS pin also serves as a power-down pin. The

RFGA2012 offers 1000V HBM ESD ruggedness and is manufactured

using RFMD's InGaP HBT process to minimize Beta process variation.
