RF3166
QUAD-BAND GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS
POWER AMP MODULE
The RF3166 is a high-power, high-efficiency power amplifier module with integrated
power control that provides over 50dB of control range. The device is a self-con-
tained 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 cellular equipment and other applications in the 824MHz to
849MHz, 880MHz to 915MHz, 1710MHz to 1785MHz and 1850MHz to 1910MHz
bands. The RF3166 incorporates RFMD’s latest VBATT tracking circuit, which moni-
tors 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 exter-
nal components, simplifying layout and reducing board space.
