ALM-32220
1.7 GHz – 2.7 GHz
2 Watt High Linearity Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies’ ALM-32220 is a high linearity 2 Watt
PA with good OIP3 performance and exceptionally good
PAE at 1dB gain compression point, achieved through the
use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25 µm GaAs En-
hancement-mode pHEMT process.
• Fully matched, input and output
• High linearity and P1dB
• Unconditionally stable across load condition
• Built-in adjustable temperature compensated internal
bias circuitry
All matching components are fully integrated within the
module. This makes the ALM-32220 extremely easy to use.
The adjustable temperature-compensated internal bias
circuit allows the device to be operated at either class A
or class AB operation. The ALM-32220 is housed inside a

Note:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage,
thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated
with conventional depletion mode devices.
Notes:
Package marking provides orientation and identification
“32220”= Device Part Number
2. Good RF practice requires all unused pins to be earthed.
