RF2681
W-CDMA LINEAR VARIABLE GAIN
DRIVER AMPLIFIER
• PA Driver Amplifier for W-CDMA Handsets
• General Purpose Driver Amplifier
The RF2681 is a linear variable gain amplifier specifically
designed for PA driver applications in W-CDMA handsets.
The device maintains excellent linearity over a 30dB gain
control range, while providing a maximum of 26 dB gain.
The IC is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Ars-
enide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Process and is
provided in an extremely small 3mmx3 mm, 12-pin, lead-
less chip carrier.
• 30dB Linear Gain Control Range
•26dB Maximum Gain
• Single 2.7V to 3.3V Supply
• High Linearity Over Entire Gain Control
Range
• 9dBm Output Drive Available
