Product Description
The RF2128 is a medium-power, high-efficiency, linear
amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced
Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
process, and has been designed for use as the final RF
amplifier in 2.45GHz ISM applications such as WLAN
and POS terminals. The part also will function as the final
stage in digital PCS phone transmitters requiring linear
amplification operating between 1900MHz and
2200MHz, with over 100mW transmitted power, or as the
driver stage for the RF2125 high power amplifier. A sim-
ple power down function is included for TDD operation.
