SPA-1526Z Preliminary SPA-1526Z 0.7GHz to 2.2GHz 2W InGaP HBT Amplifier 0.7GHz to 2.2GHz 2W InGaP HBT AMPLIFIER RFMD Green, RoHS Compliant, Pb-Free Product Package: SOF-26 Product Description Features RFMD’s SPA-1526Z is a high linearity single-stage class A Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) power amplifier. The SPA-1526Z is made with InGaP-on-GaAs device technology and fabricated with MOCVD for an ideal combination of low cost and high reliability. It is well suited for use as a driver stage in macro/micro-cell infrastructure equipment, or as the final output stage in pico-cell infrastructure equipment. It features an input power detector, on/off power control, ESD protection, excellent overall robustness, and a hand reworkable and thermally enhanced SOF-26 package.

This is the RF input pin and has a DC voltage present. An external DC block is required. Power up/down control pin. The voltage on this pin should never exceed the voltage on pin 1 by more than 0.5V unless the supply current from pin 3 is limited<10mA. This is the output port for the power detector. It samples the power at the input of the amplifier. This is the RF output pin and DC connection to the collector. Not connected These pins are DC-connected to the backside paddle. They provide good thermal connection to the backside paddle for hand soldering and rework. Many thermal and electrical GND vias are required as shown in the recommended land pattern.
