Description
The MA02203AD is a two stage power amplifier
designed for DECT applications to have an output
power of +26.5 dBm with an input power of 2 dBm.
This power amplifier operates at +3.6 volts with
35% typical power added efficiency.
The
MA02203AD is mounted in a narrow body 16-pin
SOIC plastic package.
The MA02203AD is fabricated using M/A-COM’s
self-aligned MSAG
®
-Lite MESFET process for a low
single supply voltage, high power efficiency, and
excellent reliability.
This part is
not
recommended for new designs. M/A-
COM’s MA02206GJ has superior RF performance
with less DC power consumption in a smaller
package. Pricing on the MA02206GJ is also less
than the MA02203AD.
