RF3166
QUAD-BAND GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS
POWER AMP MODULE
• 3V Quad-Band GSM Handsets
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
• GSM850/EGSM900/DCS/PCS Products
• GPRS Class 12
• Power StarTM Module
The RF3166 is a high-power, high-efficiency power ampli-
fier module with integrated power control that provides
over 50dB of control range. The device is a self-contained
6mmx6mm module with 50
Ω input and output terminals.
The device is designed for use as the final RF amplifier in
GSM850, EGSM900, DCS and PCS handheld digital cel-
lular equipment and other applications in the 824MHz to
849MHz, 880MHz to 915MHz, 1710MHz to 1785MHz
and 1850MHz to 1910MHz bands. The RF3166 incorpo-
rates RFMD’s latest VBATT tracking circuit, which monitors
battery voltage and prevents the power control loop from
reaching saturation. The VBATT tracking circuit eliminates
the need to monitor battery voltage, thereby minimizing
switching transients. The RF3166 requires no external
routing or external components, simplifying layout and
reducing board space.
• Ultra-Small 6mmx6mm Package Size
• Integrated VREG
• Complete Power Control Solution
• Automatic VBATT Tracking Circuit
• No External Components or Routing
• Improved Power Flatness
