Sirenza Microdevices’ SPA-2318 is a high efficiency GaAs
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier housed in a
low-cost surface-mountable plastic package. These HBT
amplifiers are fabricated using molecular beam epitaxial growth
technology which produces reliable and consistent performance
from wafer to wafer and lot to lot.
This product is specifically designed for use as a driver amplifier
for infrastructure equipment in the 1960 and 2140 MHz bands. Its
high linearity makes it an ideal choice for multi-carrier and digital
applications.
The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free package utilizes a post
annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS
compliant per EU Directive 2002/95. This package is also manufactured with green molding compounds that contain no antimony
trioxide nor halogenated fire retardants.

Pin #FunctionDescription
1VC1VC 1 is the supply voltage for the first sta ge transistor. The configuration as
shown on application schematic is required for optimum RF performance.
2VbiasVbias is the bias control pin for the active bias network. Recommended
configuration is shown in the Application Schematic.
3RF InRF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor as
shown in the Application Schematic.
4VPC2VPC2 is the bias control pin for the active bias network for the second stage.
The recommended co nfiguration is shown in the Appli cati o n Schemati c.
5, 6, 7, 8RF Out/VC2 RF output and bias pins. Bias should be supplied to this pin through an external
RF choke. Because DC biasing is present on this pi n, a DC blocking capacitor
should be used in most applications (see application schematic). The supply
side of the bias network should be well bypassed. An output matching network is
necessary for optimum performance.
EPADGndExposed area on the bottom side of the package needs to be soldered to the
ground plane of the board fo r thermal and RF performance. Several vias should
be located under the EPAD as shown in the recommended land pattern (page 9).
