SILICON POWER MOS FET
NE5510379A
4.8 V OPERATION SILICON RF POWER LD-MOS FET
FOR 900 MHz 3 W TRANSMISSION AMPLIFIERS
DESCRIPTION
The NE5510379A is an N-channel silicon power MOS FET specially designed as the transmission power amplifier
for 4.8 V GSM 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 35.0 dBm output power
with 55% power added efficiency at 900 MHz under the 4.8 V supply voltage, or can deliver 33.5 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
