Preliminary SPB-3018 SPB-3018Z Product Description The SPB-3018 is high-efficiency InGaP/GaAs Heterojuction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier RFIC. This amplifier incorporates an on-chip Class AB bias circuit which provides excellent efficiency while maintaining good linearity. The on-chip bias also allows the device output power (and current) to drive up towards saturation as the input power increases. The SPB-3018 is an ideal choice for multi-carrier as well as digital wireless telecom or general wireless applications in the 400-2500 MHz range.

Recommended configuration is shown in the Application Schematic. 2 VPC 3 RF IN 4 N/C 5,6,7,8 EPAD VPC is the bias control pin for the active bias network. RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor as shown in the Application Schematic. RF output and bias pins. Bias should be supplied to this pin through an external RF choke. RF OUT/ Because DC biasing is present on this pin, a DC blocking capacitor should be used in most BIAS applications (see application schematic). The supply side of the bias network should be well bypassed. An output matching network is necessary for optimum performance. GND Exposed area on the bottom side of the package needs to be soldered to the ground plane of the board for thermal and RF performance. Several vias should be located under the EPAD as shown in the recommended land pattern (page 9).
