Product Description
The RF5110 is a high-power, high-efficiency power amplifier module offering high
performance in GSM OR GPRS applications. The device is manufactured on an
advanced GaAs HBT process, and has been designed for use as the final RF ampli-
fier in GSM hand-held digital cellular equipment and other applications in the
800MHz to 950MHz band. On-board power control provides over 70dB of control
range with an analog voltage input, and provides power down with a logic “low” for
standby operation. The device is self-contained with 50Ω input and the output can
be easily matched to obtain optimum power and efficiency characteristics. The
RF5110 can be used together with the RF5111 for dual-band operation. The device
is packaged in an ultra-small 3mmx3mmx1mm plastic package, minimizing the
required board space.
