Sirenza Microdevices’ SXA-3318B amplifier is a high efficiency GaAs

Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC housed in a low-cost

surface-mountable plastic package. These HBT MMICs are fabricated

using molecular beam epitaxial growth technology which produces

reliable and consistent performance from wafer to wafer and lot to lot.

These amplifiers are specially designed for use as driver devices for

infrastructure equipment in the 400-2500 MHz cellular, ISM, WLL, PCS,

W-CDMA applications.

Its high linearity makes it an ideal choice for multi-carrier as well as digital

applications.

The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free package utilizes a post anneal-

ing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS compliant per

EU Directive 2002/95. This package is also manufactured with green

molding compounds that contain no antimony trioxide nor halogenated fire

retardants.
