SILICON POWER MOS FET
NE5500234
N-CHANNEL SILICON POWER MOS FET
POWER AMPLIFIER FOR DCS1800/PCS1900 HANDSETS
DESCRIPTION
The NE5500234 is an N-channel silicon power MOS FET specially designed as the transmission power amplifier
for DCS1800 and PCS1900 handsets. Dies are manufactured using our NEWMOS technology (our 0.6
μ
m WSi gate
lateral MOS FET), housed in a surface mount 3-pin power Minimold (34 PKG) (SOT-89 type) package. The device
can deliver 32.5 dBm output power with 50% power added efficiency at 1.9 GHz under the 4.8 V supply voltage.
FEATURES
• High output power
• High linear gain
• Surface mount package
• Single supply
