3V GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIER
• Broadband Gain Blocks
• Final PA for Low-Power Applications
• IF or RF Buffer Amplifiers
• Driver Stage for Power Amplifiers
• Oscillator Loop Amplifiers
The RF2325 is a general purpose, low-cost silicon ampli-
fier designed for operation from a 3 V supply. The Darling-
ton circuit configuration with resistive feedback allows for
broadband cascadable amplification. The device is
unconditionally stable and internally matched to 50
Ω.The
only external components required for specified perfor-
mance are bypass and DC blocking capacitors and two
bias elements (as shown in application schematic). The
RF2325 is available in a very small industry-standard
SOT-23 5-lead surface mount package, enabling compact
designs which conserve board space.
• DC to >2000MHz Operation
• 2.7V to 3.3V Single Supply
• +17dBm Output IP3
•16dB Gain at 900MHz
•12dB Gain at 1900MHz
• Internally 50
