Product Description
RFMD’s RFPA2226 is a high linearity single stage class AB Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) amplifier housed in a proprietary surface-mountable plastic encap-
sulated package. This HBT amplifier is made with InGaP on GaAs device technology
and fabricated with MOCVD for an ideal combination of low cost and high reliability.
This product is specifically designed as a flexible final or driver stage for 802.16
and 802.11 equipment in the 2.2GHz to 2.7GHz bands. It can run from a 3V to 6V
supply. It is prematched to ~50 on the input for broadband performance and ease
of matching at the board level. It features an output power detector, on/off power
control, ESD protection, excellent overall robustness and a proprietary hand rework-
able and thermally enhanced QFN package. This product features a RoHS Compli-
ant and Green package with matte tin finish.
