RFPA3800 RFPA3800 GaAs HBT 150 MHz to 960MHz Power Amplifier GaAs HBT 150MHz TO 960MHz POWER AMPLIFIER Package: SOIC-8 Features 5W Output Power (P1dB) High Linearity: OIP3>48dBm High Efficiency Low Noise: NF=4dB at 945MHz 5V to 7V Operation Thermally Enhanced Slug Package Applications GaAs Driver for Base Station Amplifiers PA Stage for Commercial Wireless Infrastructure Final Stage PA in Femptocell and Repeater Applications Final Stage PA in High Efficiency, High Power Applications Class AB Operation for LTE and GSM Transceiver Applications Functional Block Diagram Product Description The RFPA3800 is a single-stage GaAs HBT power amplifier specifically designed for high power, high efficiency applications. It is also well-suited for Wireless Infrastructure linear power amplifier applications. The RFPA3800 can be optimized for linear or saturated operation by varying the quiescent bias point and load line. It also offers low noise figure making it an excellent solution for 2nd and 3rd stage LNAs. The RFPA3800 exhibits excellent thermal performance through the use of a thermally-enhanced plastic surface-mount slug package.
