PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CHP1237 is an InGaP HBT amplifier module
offering high performance for PCS CDMA wireless
handsets. It consists of a two-stage amplifier, 50
Ω
matching network for both input and output, and a
bias control circuit. It is packaged in a 3 x 3 x 1 mm
package using proprietary Passive-Free Technology
(PFT)
TM
. The package provides excellent electrical
stability and low thermal resistance.

Notes:
(1) Includes the current at pins 1, 4, 5, and 9.
(2) ACPR is specified per IS95 as the ratio of adjacent power in 30 kHz BW to the total in-band power
(1.23 MHz BW).
(3) Includes the current at pins 1 and 9 (Vcc current).
(4) RxBn is measured at 80 MHz above the operating frequency (Fo).
(Measurement setup: RBW = 30 kHz, VBW = 30 kHz).
(5) All phases, time equals to 10 seconds.
