DESCRIPTION
The TC3331 is a 2-stage PHEMT MMIC power amplifier. It is designed for use in low cost and high volume 3.3-3.7 GHz
band applications. The MMIC is matched to 50Ω operation. It provides a typical gain of 30 dB and P1dB power of 30
dBm. Typical bias condition is 7V at 650 mA. The MMIC is packaged in a copper based ceramic 10 pins power package.
The copper based carrier of the package allows direct soldering of the device to the PCB.
APPLICATIONS
• Wireless Internet Access
• Wireless Local Loop
• Two way radio

Application Notes:
For better heat sinking and grounding,
it's recommended to have the via holes
beneath TC3331 filled with solder and
have two screws installed on required
heat sink plate besides TC3331 on the
PCB area.
