Description
The AP134-501 is a high performance IC power amplifier
module designed for use as the final amplification stage
in tri-band GSM and GPRS mobile phone applications
(880–915, 1710–1785 and 1850–1910 MHz). It features
3-cell battery operation, a band select switch, a single
positive analog power control input for both bands, and
exceptional power added efficiency. The amplifier is
manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT process,
known industry-wide for its excellent reliability and
performance. The amplifier module is completely selfcontained, requiring no external matching components.
