MOTOROLA RF DEVICE DATA

The MRFIC Line

1800 MHz GaAs Integrated

Power Amplifier

Designed specifically for application in Pan European digital 1.0 watt

DCS1800/PCS1900 handheld radios, the MRFIC1817 is specified for 32 dBm

output power with power gain over 27 dB from a 3.6 volt supply. To achieve this

superior performance, Motorola’s planar GaAs MESFET process is employed.

The device is packaged in the PFP–16 Power Flat Package which gives

excellent thermal and electrical performance through a solderable backside

contact while allowing the convenience and cost benefits of reflow soldering.
