This integrated circuit is intended for GSM class IV handsets. The device is
specified for 2.5 Watts output power and 43% minimum power added
efficiency under GSM signal conditions at 3.6 Volt supply voltage. To achieve
this superior performance, Motorola’s planar GaAs MESFET process is
employed. The device is packaged in the PFP–16 Power Flat Pack package
which gives excellent thermal performance through a solderable backside
contact.
• Usable Frequency Range 800 to 1000 MHz
• Typical Output Power: 34.5 dBm @ 3.6 Volts
• 43% Minimum Power Added Efficiency
• Low Parasitic, High Thermal Dissipation Package
• Order MRFIC0917R2 for Tape and Reel.
R2 Suffix = 1,500 Units per 16 mm, 13 inch Reel.
• Device Marking = M0917
