The RF3377 is a general purpose, low-cost RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as an easily-cascadable 50Ω gain block. Applications include IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 6000MHz. The device is self-contained with 50Ω input and output impedances and requires only two external DC-biasing elements to operate as specified.
The RF3377 is a self-contained, low-cost RF amplifier integrated circuit manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process. It is designed for use as an easily-casable 50Q gain block in wireless voice and data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 6000MHz.
The device features internally matched input and output impedances and requires only two external DC-biasing elements to operate as specified. Key specifications include a typical small signal gain of 15.5dB, an output IP3 of +25.5dBm, and an output P1dB of +13dBm.
