RF LDMOS Wideband Integrated
Power Amplifiers
The MDE6IC9120N/GN wideband integrated circuit is designed with
on - chip matching that makes it usable from 920 to 960 MHz. This multi - stage
structure is rated for 26 to 32 Volt operation and covers all typical cellular base
station modulation formats.
