Typical Applications
• TDMA/CDMA/FM PCS Tx Amplifier
• Low Noise Transmit Driver Amplifier
• 2.4GHz WLAN Systems
Product Description
The RF2362 is a low noise CDMA/TDMA PAdriveramplifier with a very high dynamic range designed for transmit
digital PCS applications at 1880MHz. The device functions as an outstanding PA driver amplifier in the transmit
chain of digital subscriber units where low transmit noise
power is a concern. The IC includes a power down feature that can be used to completely turn off the device.
The IC is featured in a standard SOT 5-lead plastic package.
