SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MRFIC Line
! ""
The MRFIC0904 is an integrated driver amplifier designed for class A/B
operation in the 800 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range. The design utilizes
Motorola’s Advanced GaAs FET process to yield superior performance and
efficiency in a cost effective monolithic device. Off–chip output matching provides maximum flexibility in design. Applications for the MRFIC0904 include
GSM, AMPS, and ISM band transmitters.
• GSM Ramping/Gain Control of 45 dB with Power Control Function (PCNTRL)
• Class 4 P
• Class 4 Supply Current (1 dB) = 120 mA @ 4.8 V (Typical)
• Class 5 P
• Class 5 Supply Current (1 dB) = 120 mA @ 3.6 V (Typical)
• Low Cost Surface Mount Plastic Package
• Order MRFIC0904R2 for Tape and Reel.
R2 Suffix = 2,500 Units per 16 mm, 13 inch Reel.
• Device Marking = M0904
(1 dB Gain Compression) = 26 dBm @ 4.8 V (Typical)
