PG173TA
PPPP
L-BAND PA DRIVER AMPLIFIER
DESCRIPTION
The PPG173TA is L-Band PA driver amplifier developed for digital cellular telephone and PCS applications. This
device feature high output power and low distortion with 2.8 V low voltage and 25 mA low current operation. It is
housed in a very small 6 pin mini-mold package available on tape-and-reel and easy to install and contributes to
miniaturizing the systems.
