2 W High Gain Power Amplifier for
Cellular Infrastructure
InGaP GaAs HBT
The MMZ27333B is a versatile 3--stage power amplifier targeted at driver and
pre--driver applications for macro and micro base stations and final--stage
applications for small cells. Its versatile design allows operation in any
frequency band from 1500 to 2700 MHz providing gain of more than 35 dB. The
device operates off a 5 V supply, and its bias currents and portions of the
matching networks are adjustable for optimum performance in any specific
application. It is housed in a QFN 4  4 surface mount package.
