RF3117
3V 900MHZ LINEAR AMPLIFIER MODULE
• 3V CDMA/AMPS Cellular Handsets
• 3V CDMA2000/1X Cellular Handsets
• Compatible with Qualcomm Chipset
• Spread-Spectrum Systems
The RF3117 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear ampli-
fier module targeting 3V handheld systems. The device is
manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Hetero-
junction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been
designed for use as the final RF amplifier in dual-mode
3 V CDMA/AMPS handheld digital cellular equipment,
spread-spectrum systems, and other applications in the
824MHz to 849MHz band. The RF3117 has a digital con-
trol line for low power application to reduce the current
drain. The device is self-contained with 50
Ω input and
output that is matched to obtain optimum power, effi-
ciency, and linearity characteristics. The module is an
ultra-small 6mmx6 mm land grid array with backside
ground.
