The RF2162 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear amplifier IC targeting 3V handheld systems. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction 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 equipment, 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 packaged in a compact 4mmx4mm, 16-pin, leadless chip carrier.
