SILICON POWER MOS FET
NE5510179A
3.6 V OPERATION SILICON RF POWER LD-MOS FET
FOR 1.9 GHz 1 W TRANSMISSION AMPLIFIERS
DESCRIPTION
The NE5510179A is an N-channel silicon power MOS FET specially designed as the transmission driver amplifier
for 3.6 V GSM 1 800 and GSM 1 900 handsets. Dies are manufactured using NEC’s NEWMOS technology (NEC’s
0.6
µ
m WSi gate lateral-diffusion MOS FET) and housed in a surface mount package. The device can deliver 30.0
dBm output power with 50% power added efficiency at 1.9 GHz under the 3.6 V supply voltage, or can deliver 29
dBm output power at 2.8 V by varying the gate voltage as a power control function.
FEATURES
• High output power
• High linear gain
• Surface mount package
• Single supply
