RF7206

3V W-CDMA BAND 2 LINEAR PA MODULE

The RF7206 is a high-power, high-efficiency, linear power amplifier

designed for use as the final RF amplifier in 3V, 50

 W-CDMA mobile cel-

lular equipment and spread-spectrum systems. This PA is developed for

UMTS Band 2 which operates in the 1850MHz to 1910MHz frequency

band. The RF7206 has two digital control pins to select one of three

power modes to optimize performance and current drain at lower power

levels. The part also has an integrated directional coupler which elimi-

nates the need for an external discrete coupler at the output. The RF7206

is fully HSDPA and HSPA+-compliant and is assembled in a 10-pin,

3mmx3mm module.
